Cloak of Winter Wolf works on pet?

[Whitney]

Curious, if you character has a pet and have Boon Companion feat, with this cloak's effect get passed on to your pet?

I have tried it, but failed to see the effects get passed on to the pet. Anyone, know for sure?

I don't know for sure, but since you don't seem to be getting any other answers... I wouldn't think the effects would pass on to animal companions unless the item specifically mentions animal companions, like Ring of the Beast King does. I think Cloak of the Winter Wolf is very much a niche item, only useful for motherless tieflings and alchemists with feral mutagen; I don't think items work while shapeshifted, which would preclude druid builds and shapeshifting battle casters. That rule's changed about a million times in both text and implementation through the various versions of D&D, so I could very well be wrong. If so, it's also useful for shapeshifting builds. Animal companions shouldn't be on that list regardless, though.

Magic items with continuous effects work while polymorphed. Any wizard focused on dragonkind, any fighter with an alchemist buddy who tosses him an extract of beast shape, and any wildshaped druid can make use of the cloak. Dragon Disciples also get a bite attack at level 2 (it’s supposed to only be active when they use their grow claws ability, but Owlcat didn’t implement that restriction so DDs have bite attacks 24/7 in this game).

Animal companions can’t, because, as Demosthenes implied, an item’s effects are applied specifically to the wearer unless the description specifies otherwise—the description for the cloak doesn’t say it affects the wearer’s animal companion, so it doesn’t. And without mods, it’s impossible to give animal companions equipment.

The cloak's effect isn't supposed to get passed on to your pet and does not get passed on to your pet.

It's kind of silly but call of the wild mod (I think, I haven't run vanilla in so long I forget where some of this stuff comes from) lets you put items on the pet excluding some slots.
I get a laugh out of thinking of Okbo with a cape tied around his neck, some amulet and stuffed into a suit of armor and it sure does work like this.

Is it really any sillier than Linzi and Reg being able to wear the same suit of armor without any trouble?

Yup, some aspects of the game are very outrageous indeed!
