I want to apply a finish to some wood to protect it from water and at
the same time be safe for animals. Any ideas?????????
Thank You

Choose whichever one you like. If any of them were toxic after curing,
they would be banned. Polyurethane is very water resistant and
chemically resistant, meaning that it can't be digested, even if large
chips of it were eaten. Actually, the same is true for all of the film
finishes, but polyurethane is the most inert of them all. Polyurethane
isn't a good outdoor finish because it is broken down by UV light.

Unless it contains UV blockers.
