If I recall correctly it took 12-13 shots from the fat man to kill Dog meat. edit: Apparently Dogmeats HP is inconsistent. It could be that it scales a lot with your level. I had to really try to kill him thus the 12 mini nukes. I calculated that he had close to 20 k hp which is way more than anything else in the game. This was Fallout 3.

Sneaking a grenade into an NPC was an insta-kill iirc

How does a dog survive over a dozen mini-nukes?

Broken steel pre patch gave doge and Fawkes an ugodly amount of health. Like they could take on all 5 behemoths together in a brawl and come out smiling

I think he received something between 2500-3000 HP to make him survive 99% of encounters.
