About The Healthy Animal

The Healthy Animal is self-described as a "pet-parenting" business. The Healthy Animal was founded in 2018 by Diane Dewberry, a woman driven to find the healthiest options for her pets. When she looked into mainstream pet food options, she was dissatisfied with the nutrition quality and felt pets deserved better.

With many years of combined retail experience, The Healthy Animal believes it provides a unique opportunity for anyone looking to become a franchisee or investor in the company. 

The Healthy Animal was founded in 2018 and began franchising later that same year. Since then, it has opened several franchises and is actively seeking to expand its reach.

Why You May Want to Start The Healthy Animal Franchise

The Healthy Animal has partnered with several brands listed as healthy alternatives to many of the more prominent brand names. If pets are your passion and you're ready to work with a proven business model, this may be your opportunity to become a The Healthy Animal franchisee. 

Current franchise locations include Massachusetts and New Jersey. If you are in an area with high demand for nutritionally sound pet products and this is a niche you desire to serve, The Healthy Animal may be a unique opportunity. 

What Might Make The Healthy Animal Franchise a Good Choice

The Healthy Animal is about offering better customer choice. They put the healthier brands on the shelf so pet owners are not relegated to scouring the internet for alternatives. They offer healthy food options as well as nutrition guidance, personalized for every customer and pet.
