Having just taken on a mini with sweet itch I bought him a DeMeulenkamp rug in the smallest size they do but he's had it on for roughly 2 weeks now & it's really too big for him. Having spoken to both DeM & Boett the Boett is slightly bigger again so that's out of the equation.

Unfortunately because it's too big it pulls backwards & the neck falls down exposing the first third of his neck. I know adding a hood would help this but I can't put a hood on him yet as his face is so sore he would rip it to pieces.

I've noticed also today that because it's pulling back the elastic belly strap at the back is very close to his willy bits & is rubbing him there

Someone on here kindly recommended Dinky Rugs for a turnout for him & I see they do a sweet itch rug too. My concern is that it's quite cheap & because I paid rather a lot for the DeM I wonder how the quality will compare in terms of toughness & protection.

I just need a decent sweet itch rug & hoody for mini if anyone can suggest one please.

Thank you

Snuggy hoods have transformed my sec c's life. They're stuff goes down pretty small, and I believe you can ring if the size you require isn't shown and they will make them!
