When choosing a wood finish for your home or garden, safety matters just as much as durability—especially if you have pets. Dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals are naturally curious, which means their environment should be treated with coatings that won’t harm them once fully dry. Pet safe wood finishes give you the peace of mind that your outdoor spaces stay well-maintained, look great, and remain safe for the whole family.
A popular choice is Protek Wood Stain and Protect, a versatile, water-based treatment available in a wide range of colours. It penetrates deep into the timber, offering weather resistance while keeping surfaces safe for pets once cured. For a more premium look, Osmo Garden Colour combines rich colour pigments with excellent coverage and a long-lasting, protective finish—ideal for garden buildings, fences, and furniture.
For stables, kennels, and animal housing, Osmo Garden Colour is specifically formulated for large areas. It’s quick to apply, weather-resistant, and safe for animals once dry, making it perfect for shelters or outbuildings.
If you prefer a traditional protective treatment, Barrettine Wood Protective Treatment is a great option. Designed to guard against fungi, wood-boring insects, and moisture damage, it provides reliable performance while being safe for pets after drying.
For those wanting to add a splash of colour, Protek Royal Exterior Paint is a natural water-based product that enhances and protects exterior wood. Once cured, it’s safe for both pets and plants, making it a great choice for decorative yet durable finishes.
