Sheath Cover
The Snuggy Hoods Sheath Cover provides targeted protection for the sheath area of geldings and stallions. It is ideal for horses needing extra coverage from flies, biting insects, UV rays, Sweet Itch and other skin conditions affecting this sensitive area.
Designed for use with the Snuggy Hoods Sweet Itch Rug or Bug Body, the Sheath Cover attaches securely with hook-and-loop fastenings and can be removed for washing when needed.

I purchased two of these along with the bug body fly rug as my old boy had fly strike on his man bits and then had wasps landing there. This has all but eliminated this - the occasional small fly does get in - but on the whole it’s done the job brilliantly . Wish I’d known about these earlier on in the Summer.
Absolutely brilliant service. Picked and packed in 1 day.
Great product,just what was needed.
The sheath cover was purchased due to a sarcoid problem and ongoing treatment to keep the area "fly free". Doing the job well!
I purchased the sweet itch rug and sheath cover as my old horse has melanomas in his sheath and I was concerned he would get fly strike. I had a few issues with the fitting and sizing of the sheath cover but got there eventually with the help of Becky. This product is a God send. I can now turn out for the day without having to reapply fly repellent several times a day. the sweet itch rug is great also. I was concerned about sweating but so far so good he just sweats where the Velcro is.
Thank you snuggy hoods for designing such a great product and fantastic customer service
