Product Description

The Snuggy Bug Body ® Fly Rug  is sure to become a 'must have' in every equine's wardrobe. Offering comprehensive poll to dock protection - the Snuggy Bug Body® Fly Rug is the most innovative, protective 'bug rug' on the market.

Featured in Horse and Hound's top 12 fly rugs !

Constructed of the same fabric as the Sweet Itch Hood and Sweet Itch Rug, the Bug Body Fly Rug is robust yet lightweight and fully breathable, water repellent, stops coat bleaching as well as protecting from midges, other flying/biting insects, dust and dirt. The Bug Body Fly Rug is suitable for horses and ponies with fly or insect sensitivity or allergies as well as Sweet Itch sufferers. It will keep you horse cool and comfortable all Summer long. Also excellent as a under layer in winter months, with or without the neck section.

The Snuggy Bug Body Fly Rug comes as a two piece neck and rug combo for versatility and ease of fitting. The rug part- with built in full belly band, tail wrap and XL flap, is fitted first. The neck piece then slips over the horse's head and is secured to the top and sides of the rug's neck with Velcro leaving no gaps. The top of the neck sits closely behind the ears even when the horse stretches down to graze and is elasticated, with adjustment, to prevent any insects getting inside. The mane area of the neck is lined with a seamless, silky, non stretch lining to prevent mane rubbing/hair loss.

Small straps are fitted to the withers and chest section of the rug to prevent gaps. The withers and chest areas are padded and elasticated to prevent pressure. Three Velcro patches are fitted to the rug and belly each side to achieve a close Snuggy fit and a strong anti-stretch binding is run along the spine of the Bug Body to keep the rug in shape and prevent it slipping backwards.

Plus there is also the option to add the Sweet Itch Mask with ears and mesh eyes, as well as Front Legs, Sheath Cover or Udder Cover for extra coverage for severe sufferers. These items are purchased separately and need the appropriate attachments sewn on to the Rug. During a sale/offer or discount period, customers are asked to add the appropriate attachments to their basket. If this is not done, you will receive an attachments pack with instructions leaflet, to enable you to add the necessary attachments yourself.

Bird’s Snuggie Review
Shipped SUPER Fast!

I ordered from the states- Idaho. The hoodie and attachment pieces were put together and shipped so fast! I had it within a week, I was very impressed!

I will say, I had read to size down, my horse is 15.2 and 1250 lbs (very thick/muscled) so I was worried since the only size close enough was 6.0… I for sure thought it would be huge! But it fits tight, might be too snug actually.

I am hoping this helps with the sarcoid on his sheath, between the buffalo gnats, flies, and mosquitoes he gets eaten alive! The sarcoid was so inflamed last year we opted for a reduction surgery in December after the flies were froze back. Hoping to avoid the same situation this year. 🤞

Tolle Ekzemerdecke

Mein Ekzemerpony liebt die Decke und schlüpft mit dem Kopf immer freiwillig rein.
Der Euterschutz ist besonders toll und sorgt dafür, dass dieses Jahr zum ersten Mal die Bauchnaht komplett heil gelassen wird.

Super Decke und gute Beratung

Wir haben für unsere Hannoveraner Stute Stockmass 160
eine Decke Größe 6 gewählt, was ungefähr 135/140 entspricht.
Euterschutz in Größe M passt ebenfalls perfekt
Material macht einen guten Eindruck.

In one week I have seen improvements!

My mustang lives with allergies. And the bugs are the worst for her. She has been self harming to try and find comfort from the itching.
One week in and she is healing in her undercarriage. She’s not trying to chew or rub.
I’m blown away and oh, so grateful!
