Nope. They used to for some Set IOs which the minion powers could use (so for example slotting -ToHit/Recharge IOs in a Lich made his Fear & Blast recharge quicker) but then Castle came along and disabled that because "it interferred with Pet AI" (didn't make a blind bit of difference to my silly Grave Knights once he changed it mind).|

You can only slot the Summoning powers with Set IOs featuring Recharge though, you can't slot Recharge SOs or Common IOs into them anyway.
To expand on what Carnifax said; nothing can be done to improve the recharge of a pet's powers. Not enhancements, not external buffs like Speed Boost, nothing. And this includes "pets" like Lightning Storm and Voltaic Sentinel as well and Mastermind henchmen.

Thanks for the info.
Another question then, if I slot Enhanced Damage into them should they cause more damage, but on the stat screen of them is no damage bonus from the enhancement shown.
Does the damage still get added or not?
Also, what about the Heal IO?
Does it add health or regenerate their HP faster or can they heal better?

Slotting Damage will up the damage on all their attacks. Slotting Heal will make any Heal powers they have return more HP. It won't affect their Total HP or their Regeneration.

Ah, alright.
Thanks for the info again, guess I will remove the heal power then from them since its pretty useless right now.
It is possible to see the effects of damage enhancements in pet summon powers. In the enhancement screen, look at the details of that pet power, such as Call Thugs, near the bottom there will be a list of their basic powers before upgrades. You can expand that and it will show the increased damage just like normal powers do.
Unfortunately, I don't think you can do this for the powers granted by equip and upgrade. The damage enhancements are slotted in the summon, not equip or upgrade. So the upgrade power doesn't reflect that damage boost, but it will be applied to those attacks when the pets gain them.

I was worried that I couldn't see the effects of the powers, but now am I relieved.
Thanks a lot for the help.
Oh, another thing.
The ingame help mentions that you can/could slot defense buffs into your minions so they have better defense, I don't see the option to do that though when looking at the skill.
Was it removed?

Only works for pets that have +DEF powers (for examples Protector bots or Enforcers)
