Does critical chance affect pets?

[Doctor_Unne]

As a Scholar, if I were to meld a bunch of Savage Aim Materia to my gear, would my pet critical heal more often or does the +critical chance only apply to spells I cast?

I'm hoping an enhanced critical chance would also trigger the "Pet Action Effect Up" trait more often, resulting in more +20% spell speed boosts.

Note: I apologize if this has already been asked, but forum search results for combinations of "critical hit", "critical chance", "pets" and/or "fairy" returns nothing.
