The Cheery Pet is a line of pet-inspired gifts designed by Jessi McNeal created to celebrate the joy that pets bring to our lives! In 2019 when Jessi started hand painting custom dog ornaments and portraits but couldn't keep up with orders. So she created a line of breed based designs that could be reproduced onto ornaments and mugs and then personalized. In 2023 she launched The Cheery Pet as its own brand with her original breed based designs as well as note cards, notepads and pet bandanas all made from her original illustrations and paintings.
Each or our designs starts as a painting or illustration by Jessi, and the images are then printed onto ceramic ornaments, mugs, greeting cards, notepads and fabric for our pet bandanas. My husband Travis and I print or make almost all of our products ourselves and prioritize materials that are US made and ethically sourced.
Our studio is in a charming 100-year-old barn that my husband Travis restored, located in Mount Vernon, a rural town about an hour north of Seattle.
The Cheery Pet products are currently available at over 40 pet shops and boutiques in 18 states, with new locations being added every year.
Jessi and Travis have four adult children (plus two sons-in-law!) and two grandchildren.

IN MEMORY OF BELLE
We had to say good-bye to our cranky sweetheart in July of 2024. Our home isn't the same without her, but we hope to adopt a new kitty soon!
