Dismiss Pet is a level 5 hunter ability. It sends the hunter's current pet away, allowing for another active pet to be called or allowing Spell hunter lonewolf [Lone Wolf] to activate. The pet is only temporarily gone and can be called back again with Ability hunter beastcall [Call Pet].

In the spellbook, this ability is found inside the Pet Utility button.

Tips and tactics[]

  • When calling a previously-dismissed pet, it will appear with the same amount of health as it was dismissed with.
  • A pet can also be "dismissed" by ordering it to Move To a location, then walking out of range. Dismissing a pet this way will cause it to appear with full health the next time it's called.
  • Dismiss Pet can be used in combat to save a pet from death.
  • Dismiss Pet can be used to prevent a pet from drawing aggro; this is especially useful in certain instances.
