Pets started earning talent points at level 20 and then gained a point every 4 levels, level 85 hunters' pets having a total of 17 spendable points, unless improved with the former talent, which added 4 more points. The pet talent system replaced the earlier training point system for hunter pets, with the pets themselves using the talent points and trees.

The pet talent system was removed with Mists of Pandaria, with many talents removed, and the rest converted into specialization-specific pet abilities. Prior to Patch 5.0.4, hunter pets enjoyed their own talent system, featuring trees in which hunters could spend each pet's talent points.
