The fire pet has abysmally low hit points from 4-20, even with a focus item. The earth and air pets do a better job of tanking but the water pet does the best job in that level range in my humble opinion. You can flame shield it, toss a low level nuke to pull, send this thing in to intercept, and easily do the damage you need to via spells to get full exp without the enemy ever turning on you. Until you get to the point of chain casting with the fire pet in a comfortable way, Water gets the job done best.
