At currently maxed lvls of AH and First Aid (not sure which counts) the chance to revive a pet is around 61% for me. I revive my bear with at most 2 attempts, very often with one. With higher lvl pets, they are not gonna die in every fight which makes it manageable. At lower level I agree it was very frustrating loosing so many first aid kits, because at those lvls they were still expensive.
There is an option to "dismiss a pet". It's the same way as you would dismiss it normally. The red X. However you have to be mindful of the summoning ability recast timer. It may be a while before you can summon your pet again.
My greatest hope for fix for 2 years now, and greatest problem with the abilities is that "Summon living stabled pet" is not working at all. If it were, after your pet died, you could dismiss it and re-summon living one immediately.

I haven't noticed the red X you are talking about! Thank you very much. I assume it is near my pet's info (health, armour & power meters).
