A: Blythe Wood Works recommends that you stain and/or seal your new wood dog or cat house once it is assembled.
*Not sealing the house will void the warranty.*
Quality clear, semi-transparent, and solid bodied stains are excellent finishes. They are easy to use and available in a wide range of colors. They highlight the texture, natural grain, and beauty of the wood.
Valspar from Lowes and Behr from Home Depot offer a good quality exterior deck stain and sealer. You may also want to check with your local paint store for suggestions on a product that would work best for your area.
