How To Heal Your Dog In Fallout 4

Your canine companion in Fallout 4 can take damage just like any other ally in the game. If your dog becomes wounded during combat or exploration, you’ll want to know how to get them back in fighting shape. This guide walks you through the simple process of healing your dog using the items available in your inventory.

Understanding Dog Health

When your dog gets wounded, they’ll show signs of injury and may struggle to engage enemies effectively. On lower difficulty settings, your dog may recover on their own over time, but this isn’t reliable—especially in tougher encounters.

How to Heal Your Dog

To heal your dog in Fallout 4, you’ll need one of two items:

StimPak — The standard healing item

Dehealum — An alternative healing item

Open your inventory and select either a StimPak or Dehealum. Target your dog and apply the item. Your dog will consume the healing item and begin recovering their health. Depending on how wounded they are, you may need to use multiple items before they fully recover.

After using the healing item, give your dog a moment to stand back up and resume normal behavior. Once they’re mobile again, they’ll be ready to continue assisting you in combat.

Summary

Healing your dog in Fallout 4 is straightforward: keep StimPaks or Dehealum in your inventory, and use them on your wounded companion whenever needed. A healthy dog is a helpful dog, so don’t hesitate to use your healing supplies to keep them in top condition during your adventures in the Commonwealth.
