Please note that the addon cannot detect learned pets if the item does not contain the pet's default full name within it's item name. ie. Pet = "Calico Cat", Item = "Cat Carrier(Calico Cat)" is ok.
Since pet items only display "Already known" when you have learned 3 of them (or if they are unique), this addon is a (hopefully temporary) solution to that. It adds a line to tooltips displaying how many of a pet you already know.
It compares the Pet name to the item name and tries to find a match, so it may not be 100% accurate for all pets. If the pet is very expensive, and the addon is reporting you have 0 of that pet, it's probably a good idea to double check the Pet Journal manually.
The basic method of interacting with tooltips originates with Silverwind, and his idTip addon.
