Can You Have Pets in Starfield? – Answered

Can we keep it?

In Starfield, Bethesda has provided players with a plethora of personalization options. Along with other features, you can choose your parents, engage in romantic relationships with a select few of your companions, and even marry them. Additionally, you can have your own home in Starfield. However, can you have a pet in Starfield, similar to how you had Dogmeat in Fallout 4? Here’s what you need to know.

Can You Adopt a Pet in Starfield?

Currently, it is not possible to have a pet in Starfield. It is uncertain whether Bethesda will release a DLC to include this feature or if the modding community will create a mod to add the feature.

One player encountered a bug that allowed an Ankylosaurus to board their ship. The player managed to trap the wildlife specimen while on a planet in Starfield by glitching it onto their spaceship, which, technically, could be classed as them now having a pet. The downside to this is that the user reported that the fast-travel system was disabled because of it, though.

Are Dogs and Cats in Starfield?

Throughout my gameplay, I have not found a single dog or cat, nor has anyone else confirmed the presence of man’s best friends. Bethesda, please add something like Cosmo and Goose from Marvel to Starfield.
