I recently brought our 14 lb. dog over without the use of a pet relocating service. I paid a ridiculous amount for shipping her because I wanted her to go on our flight which was arranged by my husband's company.
I think you could do it. The biggest hurdles I experienced were trying to deal with the airlines (British Airways - horrible customer service) in the States and then, upon arrival, realizing that my husband's company did not give him the original of the import permit, which was necessary.
In the end, you will have to use someone here local to clear customs, but I think we paid him 200 riyals - around $50 - to negotiate with the customs officials here.
With a little legwork, you can definitely do it yourself!
