Can You Have a Dog and Other Companions in Fallout 4?
Yep, you can absolutely have a dog and another companion at the same time in Fallout 4. The dog, named Dogmeat, is a faithful companion you'll meet early in the game. Though technically, you can only have one human (or human-like) companion at a time, Dogmeat is an exception to this rule. So, roam the wasteland with Dogmeat by your side and any other companion of your choice for double the fun!

Sadly, nope. Dogmeat counts as your one allowed companion. BUT, there's a catch – there’s a perk called 'Lone Wanderer' that still works even if Dogmeat is with you, so it's like the game's giving you a little nudge-wink to keep him around. Plus, there are mods that let you have more companions if you're into tweaking your game.
Actually, you can only have one companion at a time, including Dogmeat. If you choose another companion, you'll have to send Dogmeat to one of your settlements. However, there are some perks and occasional quests that might let them tag along temporarily. It's all about choosing who you want by your side at that moment.
