Flying w/ Vizsla over holidays. Besides airline guidelines, what precautions should take regarding cold temp?

I have flown many times with Maggie, but not during the winter.  Do they make insulated crates? Is a jacket and blankets enough for her?  Concerned if she doesn’t make it on the connecting flight if she is going to sit on a tarmack for hours in the cold in Salt Lake City.

    She will fly in the cargo hold, as you know — all airlines pressurize their holds these days, so it’s warmer than it used to be, but it will still be chilly!

    I would recommend a thermal blanket (some layers will be warmer than a single layer) on top of a fleece pad. My experience flying with my golden in cold months, is that the air carriers are very careful about transporting our pets. I doubt they would leave her outside in the cold — however, if it were me, I’d tape a BIG sign on the outside of her crate: Hi, I’m Maggie. Please make sure I’m somewhere warm — don’t leave me out in the cold!
