Team level and your pet question

I’ve looked around and found some conflicting and confusing answers about team level but the other day someone told me deleting my level 1 pet would increase my overall team level.

Is this true? I never use my pet since I dislike things following me around but I didn’t think he was actually detriment to the point I’d delete him either. I got my pet with the founder pack and ended up just not bothering to use him.

Any advice for a confused person bad at simple math? More over should I just get rid of my pet for better leveling if I really don’t want him hanging around right now?
