If I had two pets out, and the pet without the meso magnet & item pouch equipped walked past any items, I would not be able to pick them up for several seconds, whereas if the lead pet passed them, they'd be picked up. Apparently some patch changed this behavior.
Since a really really long time ago (maybe January 2006) this has applied to any pet without looting items. If it walks over an item, the player can't pick it up anymore, and you have to wait a few seconds.
If they've fixed it that'd be nice >_< For the first couple months I had a pet, it was just a friendly companion, but then it started interfering with drops so I had to splurge the extra $5.00 to let it loot >_<
