FYI This chart is copied from the tooltip's of the animal companion selection during character creation, but, it's mostly pointless. As the actual stats and tooltips when you get in game are different. For example every animal gets massive stat bonuses, but additionally the leopard increases in size at level 4, not level 7, and the leopard never learns pounce.

In the case of the Dog becomes large at level 7 (your character's level 7) but the Dog never learns ferocity. From these two examples, I will conclude that in any case where an animal companion has two animal defining abilities (pounce,trip,ferocity, etc) one of these two is in fact a lie (the second one they learn). This is either a bug in game, or much more likely a bug on the tooltip's during character creation, as all the in-game tooltip's match the in-game functionality.

Another note, I just tested Smilodon, they never gain a feat called pounce, but at higher levels they absolutely get the effect of pounce, leads me to believe maybe I was wrong about leopard's pounce? Anyone confirm pounce works on a leopard?

EDIT: Yes, I can confirm, pounce works on leopard starting from level 4, but the ability doesn't show in the pets' abilities screen.
