This mod turns Dogmeat into a Labrador with a variety of color options. There are several color options available, including yellow lab, chocolate lab, black lab, and Bruce.

5 . Floppy Eared Dogmeat

Floppy Eared Dogmeat does exactly what the name implies: it gives Dogmeat floppy ears. There are four options: two are basic mesh replacers for Dogmeat, giving him one or two floppy ears, one replaces him with a floppy-eared Raider dog, and the third only affects NPC raider dogs. Any of the two basic Dogmeat-only options will work with any existing Dogmeat retexture as long as it does not change meshes.

4 . Dog Combat Armours - Standalone and Craftable

This mod adds two sets of standalone dog armor based on the combat armor set that can be crafted at any in-game chemistry workbench. The light armor adds a few plates for protection while still allowing Dogmeat to move around freely, whereas the heavy armor makes Dogmeat look like a walking tank with a waggy tail. A modified Gas Mask that can be used with any dog armor is also included.

3 . Shei- Wolf Ally

Shei is a mutated Wolf companion who can be used in conjunction with any other existing companion (including Dogmeat). Because standard dog armor would not fit the wolf mesh, her mod includes a customized version of each vanilla dog armor designed to fit her better. The colors available are black, white, red, and glowing at will. She has the ability to Frenzy in combat, which increases damage and resistance for a short period of time. She can also use her own dog treats, which you can make, to replenish her health in combat.
