PetChecker – Smarter Pet Management for All Versions of WoW

Compatible with:

✔ Retail

✔ Classic Era

✔ Season of Discovery (SoD)

✔ Hardcore

✔ MoP Classic

PetChecker is an all-in-one pet management assistant designed to make Hunters, Warlocks, Death Knights, and anyone relying on a pet more aware, more efficient, and far less likely to shout “NO PET?!” mid-pull.

Whether you’re leveling in Classic, raiding in Retail, experimenting in SoD, or blazing through Pandaria, PetChecker automatically adapts to your version of WoW and provides the features appropriate to that era.

Why Use PetChecker?

• Because every pet class—old or new—faces the same problems:
• Forgetting Growl is on in a dungeon
• Losing your pet on the way to the mailbox
• Realizing too late that your pet is unhappy, starving, stuck, lazy, or plotting against you
• PetChecker solves these with clean visuals, fast warnings, and cross-expansion compatibility—all in a single addon folder and ZIP.
