I was able to solo this with an [npc=77221] (1,2,1), using the standard combo
1st- [pet-ability=459]
2nd- [pet-ability=208]
3rd- [pet-ability=459]
4th- [pet-ability=640] to finish off NightfangMy pet died in that last round (only the first death, though, triggering the mechanical passive), so it's possible that you may have to restart if you get crit or something.
The absolute best strategy to defeat all pets, if you don't have a large roster or are new to pet battles, is to use an entire team of level one pets, as these pet world quests scale with your pet's level. When the pet is scaled to your level at level one, it loses most of its abilities and difficulty.
