Should my dog wear a sweater when flying as checked baggage?

Question

Nuala will be taking a 15 hour flight (with layover) as checked baggage. It is forecasted to be around 0-7 degrees Celsius, do you recommend she wears a sweater? Will she be okay? Are there any precautions we should take? She has been approved by the airline to fly in that temperature. Pet's info: Dog | Vizsla | Female | spayed | 10 months and 10 days old | 63 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Nuala. I do not recommend placing a sweater on her. I worry that it could get tangled or hooked on her crate causing her problems. The cargo hold of the airplane will be temperature controlled. So it should only be chilly for her on the tarmac. There are typically very strict transport times so she will not be allowed outside long. I hope this information helps!
