This is 'anecdotal' but I can assure you that if you dont do 50% the pet takes half.

I have been charming from 44-51 on bloodgills in loio and my setup is thus:

Charm a bloodgill. Kill the other bloodgill (usually nuke once, or maybe not at all - never 50% of the dmg). Get exp.

Hope that the bloodgill i had charmed is <20% - Invis, and then nuke it.

The second bloodgill always gives me moveable exp / more exp in my bar than the second, purely because there was no pet to eat it. I have changed my strategy (nuke twice) and I get double the experience on the first mob as well, but then I usually need to find more mobs to kill my pet again. It's a vicious cycle.
