Say someone is able to get their animal companion's intelligence to 10, how many skill ranks per level do they have? Is it the same as a Wizard (2+int), the same as the Druid(4+int), the same as an Eidolon(6+int), or the same as a Rogue(8+int)?
I highly doubt it would be the same as the Rogue but I feel like I have to cover all bases encase it is the right answer.

Animal companions gain skills as animal companions.
I dont have my book with me atm so i will take this info from the d20pfsrd website.
Animal Companions start at 1st lvl with 2 ranks, they gain 1 rank at 2nd lvl, 0 ranks at 3rd, 1 at 4th, 1 at 5th, 1 at 6th, 0 at 7th, 1 at 8th, 1 at 9th, 1 at 10th, 0 at 11th, 1 at 12th, 1 at 13th, 1 at 14th, 0 at 15th, 1 at 16th, 1 at 17th, 1 at 18th, 0 at 19th, and one at 20th.
If it gains an INT of 10 or more it gains bonus skill ranks as normal, but can not have more ranks in a skill than they have HD

2+ int, but chances are very good you're getting their int that high with a headband of intellect, in which case you've already gotten in the bonus skills. In fact with a headband on anything with 2 skill points per level and an int below 8, you get MORE skill points than you would from upping their intelligence.
