The latest update in GTA Online, titled A Safehouse in the Hills, introduces a groundbreaking feature – the ability to own dogs. This marks the first time players can truly own pets in the game, adding a personal touch to the gameplay experience. Alongside new story content, vehicles, and gameplay tweaks, the addition of dogs in GTA Online has been a highly anticipated feature.
To acquire a dog in GTA Online A Safehouse in the Hills update, players must first purchase one of the three new mansions introduced in the update. These pets are exclusive to these properties, so older safehouses or apartments won’t suffice. Once you’ve moved into your new mansion, head to the kennel located outside the main living area, near the driveway and exterior grounds. This is where all pet-related actions take place, including purchasing, renaming, and customizing your dog.
The process of buying a dog is straightforward. Simply open the kennel interaction menu, choose to purchase a dog, select a breed and color, and name your new furry companion before confirming the purchase. Each dog costs $15,000 regardless of breed or color. Once purchased, your dog will immediately become a part of your mansion and roam around the property. If you ever wish to make changes, you can return to the kennel to rename your dog or switch its breed and color.
At launch, there are seven dog breeds available in GTA Online A Safehouse in the Hills update, each with multiple color options. The breeds include Husky, Poodle, Pug, Retriever, Rottweiler, Shepherd, and Westy. The choice of breed is purely cosmetic as each dog costs the same.
Interacting with your dog is a simple yet heartwarming experience. Approach your dog, press the right D-pad button or E on PC, and your character will kneel down to pet them. This small interaction adds a sense of life and companionship to your mansion.
Overall, the addition of dogs in GTA Online A Safehouse in the Hills update brings a new level of personalization to the game. Players can now enjoy the company of their furry friends while exploring the virtual world of Los Santos.
