Hi there, once again thank you for visiting Gracious Pets & welcome! I am currently still developing my site and is still a wee way off completion, however you are able to order and purchase whilst I continue to do so.
I hope you like my products and if I don't have the design or colour of your choice, I will make to order (custom made), or if you see a design on my website that I don't have in stock, just let me know and I will make it for you. I also do bulk orders at a discounted price. Although my product is targeted for cats, it can also be used for other small animals.
After reading this I hope it gives you a sense of knowing me a little.
My husband is Charles and we have been married 30+ years. We have four adult children and one grandchild. Charles and I are both from farming backgrounds, Charles having grown up here in the Manawatu and myself in Taranaki and we continue to reside on Charles' family farm 18km out of Palmerston North. A carpenter by trade, and his passion is music, Charles now pursues his interest and passion for Maori carving and genealogy. Feel free to view his website, www.korukoruatae.com
My background is mainly in administration/customer service and my interest and passions are good old fashioned country living, my pets, gardening, quilting, music and going to the theatre. It was through my passion for quilting, the love of colour and design and having two cats, I created my pet comfort products. Offering our talents and skills, I decided I would focus on ourselves and promote Charles' and my craft. So I guess I'm the "marketing person".
Thanks Karen

The Name & Logo:
The name Gracious Pets came from my daughter's name "Grace". The logo was designed by my son and the "G" was created by my nieces' partner. My husband suggested I put six toes on the paw representing each one in our family and the koru in the centre of the paw representing New Zealand. So a real family collective was put into the logo.
Labels & Packaging:
To differentiate the lines of the "MatCove", coloured labels are used, Purple for "Designer", Blue for "Classic" and Pink for "Basic". The product is packaged into a snap lock bag which compresses it down.
