I didn't see anything in the core rules for when your animal companion dies. What is the procedure for obtaining another one? Can someone point me to a page number?
Page 50, it takes 24 hours of uninterrupted prayer in an environment of the animal you wish to call. So no camels in the forest and such

"If a druid releases her companion from service, she may gain a new one by
performing a ceremony requiring 24 uninterrupted hoursof prayer in the environment where the new companion
typically lives. This ceremony can also replace an animal
companion that has perished."
Page 50 of the core book.

From the Prd
Nature Bond (Ex): ........If a druid releases her companion from service, she may gain a new one by performing a ceremony requiring 24 uninterrupted hours of prayer in the environment where the new companion typically lives. This ceremony can also replace an animal companion that has perished.

We tell you Frostgar went to this really cool farm in upstate Nuvo Yurk.
You can't visit, because it'll bother the farm animals.
UMM WHAT?
Hate to bring up an old thread, but my question falls under this topic.
When you get your new animal companion, how are the rules applied?
Do you get to select all new feat, tricks and skill point allocations, or do you use the old ones?
Does this ability work similar to how a familiar works, meaning drawing it's intellect, skill slots and abilities from the caster? This leads to replacing a familiar and getting the same one again (if still choosing the same type), with only a different personality?
Or does the animal companion work like the eidolon, where each time (in this case leveling) the eidolon can reallocate it's evolutions?
I wonder, because my player will eventually level beyond the capacity of his Ape and upgrade to a lion and we want to know if he gets to select all new feats to better work this form, or if feats are unchanged.
I can't find anything in the books that says otherwise. If this is the case, then I will allow my player to change them. Of course this does open doors to possible abuse, but luckily he is not like that. If anyone can find a rule I am missing, it would be great to see it.
All new with each companion
"What happens when your animal companion dies?"
Name the next one Meatshield number 2.
When my druid lost her first animal companion, I role played it to the hilt. She wrote a song to mother nature asking her to carry her beloved animal companion to her bosom. She mourned for a day. She performed an elaborate burial ritual (for what was left anyway)...
The next animal companion who died just got buried... She's on her fourth now and it has become a running joke how her animal companions die...
In her defense, in two out of three cases her animal companion died because she was busy saving the life of one of the other party members... But they tend to forget that when they rag on her for losing meat shields...
sorry for the thread necromancy here but, I've got a sort of similar question (and there's a lot of threads to search through)
I have a ranger in my game that just reached level 4... which means, time for a animal companion.
I've looked through the pfsrd, and couldn't find any actual rules or what dice rolls to make him do, to get his new buddy.
under druid it says, 24 uninterrupted hours of prayer etc etc
but this is a Ranger, and in my mind, all that praying doesn't quite fit. I'm inclined to have him track via Survival and then Handle Animal for a few hours
if there are any sections pertaining to this out there that I missed I'd love it if someone could point me in the right direction or advise me on what sort of DC's he'd have to hit to pull this off.
thanks in advance.

Since it functions "as the druid's animal companion", it's acquired in the same way... officially. If that doesn't sound right to you, though, feel free to do it your way.
There are no DCs or anything, though - the idea is that you don't have to roll to get your animal (as that implies a possibility of failure). I'd recommend roleplaying it with the player and/or describing the event, but I definitely don't advise forcing them to "earn" their animal companion.

There are no dice rolls required to acquire it. If you want to RP a stimulating hike, go ahead.
Though keep in mind that you also "pray" for spells as a ranger, so maybe it's best to rethink what praying looks like for your character?
*Imagines an Urban Ranger who draws UML diagrams for an hour each morning.*
What you will need skills for though is teaching tricks to your AC. Handle Animal, mostly.
thanks Kalindlara, I am a noob GM (regular GM wanted to actually play)
it's good to know that I wasn't missing anything when I couldn't find skill checks or DC's when looking this up
advice taken with gratitude, no rolls will be made, I'll just have him spend some time in the wilderness (maybe praying if he's got a diety)
and then Handle Animal checks to learn tricks.
