Lufthansa is a very good company to fly with. Never fly close to a weekend because then it can happen that the dog gets stuck in customs.
If you have to go via Frankfurt it is worth a thought using Gradlyn Kennels, a commercial shipping company which is very often much cheaper (depending to the country you fly to) and that I would blindly trust in shipping my dogs. They know when to go best and which airline to use. All dogs we and friends of ours did send with them did arrive without any problems in a very good mood. They for example wouldn't send dogs to the US on a Friday due to the customs problem and would make sure they don´t get pushed around or stuck somewhere.
