Deposit Chunks of Flesh in Doghouse

Hellhound Level

To obtain a pet dog in Zombies, you first need to find a Doghouse and deposit Chunks of Flesh. The location of these Doghouses vary, as they are randomly chosen from a pool of possible Doghouses spawn locations in every match.

A few seconds after depositing the Chunks of Flesh, the Doghouse will explode and a Hellhound pet will spawn.

Zombies Pet Dog Levels

Level Requirement
Level 1 ・Chunk of Flesh x1
・Low-Threat Zone
Level 2 ・Chunk of Flesh x2
・Mid-Threat Zone
Level 3 ・Chunk of Flesh x3
・High-Threat Zone

The level of your Zombies dog depends on the number of Chunks of Flesh you stored and the Map Threat Level the Doghouse is located in. To “level up” your Zombies dog, you need to summon a stronger one at the Doghouse at a higher threat-level zone.
