I just got here via Zurich last week with my dog (with another airline but with the same process) and everything went well. I know it's a huge worry but rest assured that many have done it (and survived and thrived). I second the recommendation of Ace Pet Movers...they are great. They will save you a lot of hassles on this end with the paperwork. I think they get a pretty good rate on live cargo, also, so they may not be that much more expensive than booking it yourself.
