The pet damage from weapons is twice the displayed damage on the weapon you give him. So unless your pet's maximum hit is less than twice the weapon damage, don't worry about it. Unless, of course, you are going for the ever-so-useful proc. Give him two of the summoned pet weapons and you'll be good to go.

As for armor - Unless you get the summoned pet armor, there really is no need to bother at that level. Although, picking up the pet haste mask and stat belt is definitely recommended.

Glad to have you back, good luck.

iirc you also need to factor in the damage bonus. I remember reading it on the Magicians Tower a while back, but seem not able to find the link...

hehe, found the link:

"When a pet uses a weapon it's max hit is double the weapon's damage value + its damage bonus. "

You'll need to account for the weapon proc (if any) as well.

My shammy pet is a lot better when I get a full set of pet gear. I assume that the beasty pet is better too.

Short answer is it'll never hurt to give your pet weapons/armor but I wouldn't spend a great deal of time/pp looking for them.
