Special Vampiric animal companions are particularly attuned to the scent of blood. If a creature has
persistent bleed damage, your vampiric animal companion can smell the creature if it's within 120 feet rather than 30 feet.
Support Benefit When your vampiric animal senses blood it tears into your enemies. Until the start of your next turn, your Strikes that damage a creature in your vampiric animal's reach also deal 1d6
persistent bleed damage. If your vampiric animal is nimble or savage, the persistent bleed damage increases to 2d6.
Advanced Maneuver Blood Feast

persistent bleed damage. The Strike deals 2d8 additional damage. If the Strike hits and deals damage, your vampiric animal companion gains temporary Hit Points equal to half your level that last for up to 1 minute.
