WoW Forever GuidePets never stop eating
2004 said
A happy pet does 125% damage. An unhappy one does 75% and starts to lose its loyalty.
Forever says
Blizzard hasn't said whether pet happiness returns. We're testing it in the beta.
The hunter chapter gives pet happiness three levels: happy at 125% damage, content at 100% and unhappy at 75%. Let it stay unhappy and the pet thinks about leaving. There is a warning box about how much a pet eats.
Blizzard's hunter post for Forever doesn't mention happiness at all. Rambleon is checking it in the beta, and this entry will be updated with what we find.
A hunter's pet is an animal you tame in the wild. It fights beside you and keeps the enemy busy while you shoot.
