Veterinarian Dr. Jeff Young has spent decades advancing the same solution PETA champions worldwide: preventing animal suffering before it starts—through spay and neuter, mobile clinics, and honesty about what animals truly need.

After a severe allergic reaction to a conventional lip balm, Dr. Ann Nguyen-Chung set out to create something better, simple, plant-based personal care products rooted in transparency and trust. As the founder of Hippotanicals, a proud PETA Business Friend, she’s turning a personal health challenge into a compassionate mission that prioritizes people, animals, and the planet. From minimalist formulas to biodegradable packaging, her work shows that kinder choices can be both effective and accessible.
