Dominick Sweet Itch Rug Elastic

Dominick Sweet Itch Rug + Elastic Panel

The Dominick sweet itch rug is our best-selling sweet itch rug and is expertly designed for horses that need extra comfort and protection during the pasture season. This rug helps protect your horse against the biting midges that cause sweet itch and offers maximum coverage in the most sensitive spots. Research has shown that using a sweet itch rug reduces sweet itch in 85% of cases.

The rug is made from a sturdy, lightweight fabric so insects cannot bite through it. This creates an effective barrier against midges, flies and other insects that can cause itching and skin irritation. The soft lining at the chest, mane and tail flap increases wearing comfort and helps reduce rubbing.

What makes this sweet itch rug extra comfortable is the elastic panel at the neck. This allows the rug to move with your horse better while walking, grazing and playing in the field. Combined with the unique DLS technology, pressure on the shoulders is reduced, so your horse retains optimal freedom of movement.

We recommend putting this sweet itch rug on as soon as midges become active again, usually from early March. This way you give your horse timely protection to help prevent sweet itch as much as possible.

Combined with the shoulder pleats and the smart fit, the rug stays in place better and follows the contours of the horse.
