Can anyone recommend a pet safe wood coat for a hutch?

I need to coat my hutch outside - to protect it from the rain etc, but want to use the safest wood protector on the outside of the hutch.

Thanks

Cuprinol garden shades do a fab range of colours and are pet safe.

I love decorating that shed over and over again! I want 'old English green' for my next paint job (10 x 6 shed).

I believe Wilko garden colours are safe as well (please someone correct me if I am wrong) as they are water based. http://www.wilko.com/exterior-paint/wilko-garden-colour-willow-1ltr/invt/0241914?VBMST=wilko%20garden%20willow xx

That Cuprinol website is addictive for playing with! So many lovely colours.

If the wood has had no preserver on it at all, you should use a preserver first Cuprinol was recommended to me. Stinks, takes forever to 'dry' (as it's supposed to suffuse the wood all through!) but will add years to it, and can be painted over after a week or so, IIRC.

I love cuprinol garden shades too. I use it for inside my hutch and all the accessories as I can paint them all quirky different colours!

Quite right, but a few people on here have found the paint thinner than cuprinol garden shades and not as long lasting.
