Zingaran Guard Dog Alpha extremely squishy

I got the Dog from the battle pas and am leveling it now but it is extremely squishy as if it has no armor at all.
I do not know if this is intentional but coupled with the low damage it’s not an enjoyable grind.

It’s a pet after all

Really hating how they’ve been treating animals with the recent updates. They seem to do no damage at all. Had a Gorilla that only did 9 damage against shalebacks. That just ain’t right.

Unfortunately, pets are deliberately decoration only.

They applied a massive across the board nerf to all non-human followers awhile back, packaged with the fantasy that it was just the start of a rebuild of how pets would work.

They have released new pets since that are ok.
Giant snakes are solid.
The new Werehyena has a bug that makes it somewhat utile.
But anything based on a pet type that has been in game for very long is going to be without any use other than as something to take up a slot in your follower limit.

I found. The greater wolves do best in packs. They are ok as a companion that finishes off enemies you are close to done with but you have to give them good food since the armor is so low. But in guarding, you can get 8 together and they are terrifying.

Sure but it is not logical. This chapter gives 3 pet rewards and they are all 3 bad.
The were hyena only plus is that it does not get targeted but that is a bug.
The were bear is huge and has trouble fighting mobs that are close to him and the dog does no damage, has no armour and is a slow leveler on top of that.
The pets could be a bit better if they had more growth points and a way to boost grit which you can’t do atm since there is no food for it.

This is the trouble.
You are expeting this game to even pretend to make sense.
