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 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 stickers all made from her original illustrations and paintings.
Each of my designs starts as a painting or illustration, and the images are then printed onto ceramic ornaments, greeting cards, notepads and stickers. I print the ornaments myself, and partner with US based printers for my greeting cards, notepads and stickers.
My 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.
My husband and I have four adult children (plus a son-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!
