About

Our Mission - Changing Philosophy on Pet Nutrition-Because They Deserve Better

Over 15 years ago, Diane Dewberry, founder of The Healthy Animal^™, wanted more nutritious food options for her pets. Realizing that most of today’s top selling brands weren’t a good choice, she researched smaller companies that manufactured healthy and wholesome food, treats, supplements and remedies.  This was the beginning of what became The Healthy Animal^™. Since then, Diane has become the resource for dogs and cats and their pet parents, ensuring that our furry friends stay safe and healthy. Because they deserve better! Dewberry decided franchising The Healthy Animal™ was the best way to bring her knowledge to the rest of the pet world..

Pet Industry Advantages

• In 2018, the market is expected to grow to $72 Billion.
• Dog owners spend an average of around $1,641 and cat owners approximately $1,125 per year.
