Is there any counter to Valin's poison tip dagger? My pet hates getting neowarts after every battle with that monkey

lol me too, but i think its actually beneficial because when you cure your pet its fully healed, on average i get dewberry revivers for 700 np, but 500 for neowarts fungus

I don't know of any counters besides hoping that he doesn't use it. It's not like there's a shield that blocks the poison tip, as far as I know. Luckily, though, the cure is cheap, as cup_of_chai_tea pointed out!
