Fallout 4: Find and use Dogmeat - the best tips

If you need a loyal companion in Fallout 4, you can find and use Dogmeat at the beginning of the game. We'll show you where it is hidden.

Find Dogmeat in Fallout 4 - Here's how

Dogmeat is an Australian Cattle Dog and lost its owner in the disaster. Exit Vault 111 and find the dog at the Red Rocket Truck Stop in the Sanctuary Hills.
Unlike the previous Fallout titles, Dogmeat will remain your constant companion on request. Even if the time blesses him often in combat, the dog can always be repeated.
If you select Dogmeat with the mouse or the thumbstick, you have the choice between several commands. Among other things, Dogmeat can fetch things, attack opponents or just sit. Dogmeat also reacts alone in combat.

Again and again it happens that Dogmeat simply disappears in the game. Even if you change your companion or Dogmeat dies, finding him is often not easy.
You can usually find Dogmeat in one of the dog houses in Sanctuary. However, you can also find Dogmeat in the dog houses of other places.
Tip: In building mode, destroy all dog houses in one place and leave only one. If you travel to another place and back again by fast travel, Dogmeat spawns in the last remaining dog house.
