Surprised no one has mentioned the following:

This quest chain (as well as the Azeroth version) are once per year per character, meaning if you have alts that are level 60+, you can do this quest multiple times using a different alt each time.

I collected all four companion pets on the same day doing this. Remember the pets are account wide, so it saves having to wait a year for each one.
