The Henry's Healthy Blocks Story

Henry's was founded in 2008 after I found myself taking care of two nonreleasable squirrels, Henry and Hazel. Once they were weaned, just like other picky squirrels, they refused to eat commercial rat blocks, the only nutritionally complete option at the time. Knowing how important good nutrition is for squirrels to prevent MBD (or "calcium deficiency"), I decided to create a tasty, nut-based block. I used the nutrient requirements of rats but packed the blocks with whole grains and fresh ground nuts for better taste. Since nothing is too good for our "fur babies" we used only the finest "human quality" ingredients and also left out the preservatives, fillers, fish meal, meat by-products, and other junk. I also consulted with top experts in animal nutrition to make sure our recipe was nutritionally sound.

Henry and Hazel loved them! And I saw the difference right away, especially in Henry, who had always had dull, coarse fur. After just a few weeks eating the blocks, his fur became soft, shiny, and full. In fact, he earned a new nickname: "Mr. Silky." Other people wanted the blocks for their squirrels, and so Henry's Healthy Pet Foods was born. Now we bring Henry's quality to other wildlife and animals. With a full line of top-quality rehab supplies. We constantly hear from our customers what a difference Henry's products make. It's a good feeling, and it's why we'll never compromise on quality.
