Hi guys.
About 3-5 hours ago (in the game lol)
I lost dogmeat. Sins then i tried to find him anywhere near Sanctuary (last time i saw him was in Sanctuary) and i cant find him anywhere. I looked any where. What should i do?

Sorry for my spelling mistakes i hope you all understand me.

Thank you

He always seems to want to go to the drive inn for me

He's usually hanging around a doghouse, there are 3 prebuilt in Sanctuary. Of course it's easy to misclick and tell him to stay somewhere, in that case.. eeh good luck

You could use console commands to move him next to you:

prid 0001d162

moveto player

Did you check the Red Rocket station where you originally encountered him? (At least that was where I found him...)

Have a party?


Or move yourself to him.
player.moveto 1d162 (the leading 0's can be left out).

I was in the red rocket. I tried all the doghouses. And nothin'. I play on a ps4 so im not sure that i can use that commend.
Thank you huys for the fast replays

How did you 'lose' him?

Did he just disappear as he was following you? Or did you dismiss him and you can't find him again?

If you suddenly noticed he was missing while he was following you, then perhaps he got stuck somewhere while you were exploring and he didn't teleport to your location for some reason. (I've seen it happen to me a few times, I have had to manually go back and find him again). Try to retrace your steps.

Another thing to try, is to find another companion and ask them to tag along with you, this will replace Dogmeat as your companion and he should get sent back to his start location. In Fallout 4, Dogmeat counts as an actual companion, so you can't have Dogmeat PLUS another companion. Typically, if a companion is replaced they will return to the place you found them, in Dogmeat's case he will return to the Red Rocket gas station.

If you have dismissed him, it seems as though Dogmeat will return to two possible locations:

1) Red Rocket gas station (near Sanctuary). This is the original place you found him, if you lose him, he can return here.

2) Sanctuary. He can also return here to one of the dog kennel's in the town. Check them all.

Remember to thoroughly check every area very carefully.

Maybe reload a previous save? If it's not too many hours since your last save.

Open Console ( ` or ~ depending on your keyboard, it's the key on the left of the 1! key)
Type this: player.moveto 1D162
Hit Enter, and you will be teleported to Dogmeat's location wherever he is at.
