Light Armor proficiency doesn't make any sense unless you are trying to get by on the cheap or you later plan to take Medium or Heavy Armor proficiency.
Mithral Chain Shirt has no Armor Check Penalty, +4 AC, +6 Max Dex. Get this as barding for only 2200 or 4400 depending on the size of Tiger. Since there is no ACP, you don't have to worry about non-proficient use.
Get the book Animal Archives for the additional tricks they define.
Masterwork studded leather barding ought to last you for a while and save you the feat.

Use divine favor. +3 to hit and damage is better then +2 to hit and damage from bulls strength.
If you really want the best protection, go for a mithril breastplate of comfort. Of course the price is over the roof. Cheaper version is the mithril kikko armor.
Celestial servant, I feel isn't worth it, since monsters will have no problems getting through thesr, but you will, and you're going to spend some time buffing. I see you have a nice 17 str there, how about you ride your tiger into combat, and use improve sharespells from acg to pop a divine favor on both of you at the same time? :)
Cheesy but...can your tiger take additional traits and take Fate's favored and armor expert? :p
now divine favor is at +4/+4. And fluffy can wear a mithril breastplate without acp :D
divine protection is so good I'd trade celestial servant for it anyday.
Your AC won't make 30. It can only have a number of hit dice one higher than you.
If you have access to ACG, spirits gift is pretty good, Stone spirit animal ability is DR 5/adamantium. Not sure at what level it starts losing effeciveness, but there are other solid options once it ceases to be good.
I understood the HD+1 limit to be buried in a PFS thread. Pretty sure there's no such rule in actual effect anywhere else.

I have the ruling right here. It was made in the Pathfinder Society Forum for PFS play, and thus is not RAW for a home game.
I will note though that there was a good reason for that ruling -- there were players whose jacked-up animals not only wrecked encounters, but also the fun of their fellow players.
I'm not saying, mind, that you will be one of them. But this is an etiquette issue that you may want to keep in mind. Generally speaking, everyone is fine with your character being powerful so long as they get to do their own thing. If your souped-up tiger steals the show too often in your home game, your melee characters might start to feel unhappy.
Hmm

Don't worry. I know what you can do with your FCB. The moment you reach 7, take form of the beast revelation, pump your fcb into it.
At level 11, turn yourself into a polar kamadan and abuse that 30 ft, 1d4 breath weapon recharge sleep cone.

They can speak, so all you need is still spell to cast spells as per normal.
