About

Animal Health International traces its roots to a 1954 sundries store founded by Willard Wall in California and grew through decades of mergers — including Walco International, Great Plains Chemical/Lextron, and Kane Veterinary Supplies — into a leading all-species distributor of animal health products for veterinarians, livestock producers, and retailers. Acquired by Patterson Companies in 2015, it has since expanded via the Dairy Tech (2023) and Mountain Vet Supply (2024) acquisitions.
