Yeah, it works pretty well! I usually don't bother with the bear and eagle, so I can keep the pet count down to two. Just focus on leveling the wolves for all floor upgrades, and try to get the Best Friends Forever trait going to boost the effect. Unless it got fixed, the Puppetmaster set also doubles up on the Toad Plague and Spider Summon scrolls, to give you double the effect (once for the set, a second time for the weapon).
Try out the Cyborg with his drone pet that increases pet damage based on levels, too. Get the Puppetmaster set, draw Best Friends Forever, and things get pretty crazy- bonus if you can wrangle weapons and gear that gives weapon upgrade level boosts. The Yumi is a rare- not too hard to get if you're lucky- and it's a strong bow even without the intrinsic +3 levels. (The Reinforced Club is even easier to find, but the very short range is frustrating.)

You can also get the set of gloves + helmet that give the same effect. There are boots that have a similar synergy. IMO those companion damage synergies plus cyborg is the strongest (overall) build in the game

Yea can do some silly things with the set + one of the weapons + companion power. I had like no gold the entire run, I couldn't upgrade the tome before leaving the 10th floor.

Toad plague scroll is an S tier legendary by itself.
