I know that pets scale by size as you level. Has anyone ever figured out how it works? Like, does it get bigger every level? Or is it every 10 levels or something?

Every level.

Does anyone know what the percentage is? Every level your pet is 2% bigger or something?

Dunno, but it stops at level 60 I think.

I vaguely remember someone doing a project where they'd take a screenshot every level to show how the same pet grows over time.

...or I just made it up and it's something I'd like to see. Either way, that would be a fun project.

I think Acherontia's right though, pets don't seem to have grown anymore since level 60.

I dunno about that.....maybe it was my cruddy vision, but when my brother and I both had devilsaurs at the same time, I compared them. He was about level 63 and I was probably low 70's at the time. My devilsaur seemed ever-so-slightly bigger. He leveled past 70 now though, so I'm unable to look again.

I remembered over two years ago on my long retired hunter I had my teal scorpion out when I helped a friend tame one for herself. My scorpion was at level 70 and he was definitely bigger than her brand new scorpion. Almost twice as big.

A lvl 60 using an Ironhide sits around in Org a lot, and I'm fairly certain my Krush is the same size. I like Vephriel's idea, and the irony (read: jab at Blizz) if the quick-moving slideshow continued on to 80 with no size increase would be amusing

Well some pets don't really need to get bigger, IE the boss wasps, Devilsaurs, Rhinos, but I wish some pets would. Especially scorpids, snakes, worms- just not the jormungers, and core hounds.

Core Hounds always feel so midgetfied when next to a tauren.

But guess them growing until level 60 is something atleast. Or perhaps someone could Make a discussion thread on official forums?

Well to be fair, Blizz (and a lot of players!) doesn't want them growing too big. If anything, they'd have to scale them down even further at lower levels to have them keep growing all the way to level cap, because the alternative is to end up with pets big as houses. I already hate how some of my pets clip through buildings when I go through doors, so... On the other hand, I don't want my lowbie pets smaller. Naraxis is a wee spiderling next to Aoani in the mid 30s.

Actually what would work well is to have at most 8 people at varying levels tame the same pet and then have them all side by side for comparison. Level 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and then 70 and 80 (though I don't think pets have grown since 60) just to see the rough size differences.
