Short transit in ZRH with puppy

Has anyone here transited through ZRH with a pet dog in a cabin carrier? I am planning to go directly from my arrival ex-DXB to my connection to BCN without passing through Swiss customs, declaring the puppy in BCN with his health certificates & vaccination records. I've made this kind of connection in ZRH quite often in the past, but never with a pet. Will the Swiss customs be interested? In any case, I'm not sure that they will even be aware of the issue. (I have a very short (< 60 mins.) connection, so will not have the time to do very much in the way of formalities.) I'm hoping that air-air transit for a pet without formaility is OK in Switzerland.

Many thanks for any insights.
