Can you recall the specific paint model used? I just checked the Shewin-Williams website and they don't list anything for pets, or "less odiforous". ;-) We bought a new house and will be moving iin about one month - plan to paint fully first. Would be good to know best paint to use for little ferries (7 of them).
Thanks.
