    Yes that is probably the proper name, its a cover that hooks underneath - like a jackets for an animal????

    That's a rug, alright. As the surgingles tie near the front end, you should be fine, there are some rugs with leg straps further back that might make things difficult.

    Try to use a rug with a tail strap as opposed to leg straps. Also, check them regularly, just in case. Accidents do happen.
