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.
