Just made a Hunter and got him to level 15ish. I plan to mostly solo level with only occasional dungeons to finish quests. What are the best Hunter pet types to use for solo questing? I have a Cat at the moment, but what others should I try using?

I enjoy using a boar. That charge spell they have is great and speeds thing up. They have good damage (although you’ll have to tame other critters to learn bite) and they eat everything, so you can go out and fish for 5 minutes and have a stack of food that lasts a few hours. And they hold aggro pretty well, too.
You need to train other pets to gain their skill so get a bear, wolf etc and train their skill to your cat.
I keep a Wolf and a Cat.
Cat is primarily for DPS pump in solo play. Make sure to get all of your appropriate skills - Claw/Bite/Prowl (32)/Dash (32).
Wolf is great for group play due to the party buff of Furious Howl.
boars are great because they eat anything and its really easy to keep them happy with whatever food you loot off mobs
Wolf and Cat are the two best endgame pets, but Owl is generally the best for leveling.
FD is broken don’t level Hunter
I went to get an owl at lv16, grabbed Screech from Westfall and the owl from Darnassus. Had to level him up, but now that my hunter is 20, I’ve been pretty happy w/ my decision.
Or you could just get a boar, that thing is tanky and eats anything. Great pet for leveling.
