A sorcerer wants to use cast Transformation on his animal companion. Share Spells says he can cast personal spells on his pet but the spell uses the word 'you' a number of times and I'm trying to work out what that means here.
My interpretation of RAW is:
He must feed a potion of bull's strength to his pet as part of the casting of the spell.
The pet gains enhancement bonuses to stats and fortitude saves but the natural armour bonus doesn't stack with its inherent natural armour.
Proficiency with martial weapons won't apply to an animal.
The pet gains BAB equal to its hit dice (not to the caster's character level).
The sorcerer can still cast spells while the duration is running.
Does that seem fair?

Yep, seems exactly correct to me.
It seem like a fair ruling.
I would add:
- The companion does get weapon proficiencies, but don't have limbs to use them, unless anthropomorpic animal or other polymorph is cast beforehand.
- The companion cannot be affected by spell through the share spell ability while transformation is in effect (similar to caster loosing the ability).
Sounds fine.
