Thats cos npcs use x axis only, whereas PCs check vector. The hill makes it out of range for the spell, but still in range for the pet, despite the pet nominally having a shorter range than the spell.

There are plenty of times I sent pets to attack in flat areas though, from seemingly my max spell range. Especially on Necro that was the typical thing (cast snare from max distance while sending pet). The pet only using X axis would explain why it sometimes could be sent from further than a spell would cast at, but I don't think it should be shorter. Maybe I'm misremembering a little and snare actually had to land first and the MOB run up a bit before the pet would attack, but that feels wrong.
The distance between you and your pet for it to respond to commands was definitely shorter than cast range during early EQ, but that range got doubled sometime in 1999.
