Heh. Animal Companion feats: level 1 Cosmopolitan, level 2 Nature Soul, level 5 Animal Ally, level 8 Boon Companion

Then pet's pet take same feats!

Then pet's pet's pet take same feats!

You don't need Cosmopolitan, but need 3 int before taking Nature Soul which means 4 HD. That pushes Animal Ally to druid equivalent 8 and boon companion to druid equivalent 10.

Am I missing something? Animal Ally requires character level 4th, but animal companions don't gain character levels do they?

I was gonna try using this with an eidolon but I don't know if it actually works nor did it seem worth it. Carrying capacity is a pain in the butt, even with any hual.

"Character Level

The total level of the character, which is the sum of all class levels held by that character."

You are indeed correct.
