Watercolor pet tote bag: 15 or 16 inches, and what to carry in it

We make and sell the products named here.
A pet tote works as a gift bag on the day and as an everyday bag afterwards. The art is a watercolor corgi and a calico cat, which suits anyone who loves dogs, cats or both.
Two listings carry the same art at two sizes, and this guide helps you choose.
Quick picks
| Tote | Size | Price | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Watercolor Pet Tote Bag | 15 by 15 inches | Corgi and calico cat | $32.71 |
| Watercolor Pet Tote Bag, 16 by 16 | 16 by 16 inches | The same art, slightly larger | $30.99 |
Which size tote is better?
The 16 by 16 is the larger bag and costs less, so choose it unless you want the smaller one. An inch is the difference between a bag that holds a laptop sleeve comfortably and one that holds it tightly.
Both totes carry the art across the whole bag rather than in a patch on the front.
- Books: a notebook, a paperback and a water bottle.
- Shopping: a market run, or the pet shop.
- Walks: treats, a ball and a bag of clean-up bags.
- Gifts: the bag is the wrapping.
Is a pet tote a good gift?
A tote needs no size and gets used. It also works as the wrapping for something smaller, such as the Christmas dog bandana or a pet ornament.
| Recipient | Why a pet tote suits |
|---|---|
| A dog walker | Carries the day’s kit |
| A cat owner | The calico on the front |
| A teacher or colleague | Useful, and needs no size |
| A new pet owner | A bag for the first vet visits |
How do you care for a printed tote bag?
Follow the label that comes with the bag. As a general rule, a cold wash inside out and air drying keep a print bright, and an empty bag washes better than a full one.
When should you order a pet tote?
The catalog gives neither tote a Christmas date, so order it with the rest of the gift and order it with the rest. Both ship to US addresses only.
Frequently asked questions
Do the two totes carry different art?
No. Both carry the same corgi and calico cat painting. Only the size and the price differ.
Is there a Christmas tote to match?
Yes. The Christmas tote bag guide compares the pine-print tote with this one.
Verdict
Pick the 16 by 16 for the bigger bag at the lower price, and the 15 by 15 if you prefer the smaller one. Either holds a day’s books or a dog walk, and wraps a small gift.
