Share Spells and non-animals

[Randolfin]

Share Spells under animal companion reads as following

Share Spells (Ex)

The druid may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her animal companion (as a touch range spell) instead of on herself. A druid may cast spells on her animal companion even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion’s type (animal). Spells cast in this way must come from a class that grants an animal companion. This ability does not allow the animal to share abilities that are not spells, even if they function like spells.

-------------------------------

If the companion's type changes to something different than animal, can I still use the "Share Spells" feature with it?

[Smite Neutral]

The wording does not seem to indicate that your companion must be an animal in order to be affected by spells that would not normally affect its type. The word "animal" in parenthesis just seems to be a clarification that your companion's type is animal. While an argument could be made against this, it would be the less logical/likely interpretation, and no reasonable GM would enforce it.
