Unlikely, it'd be too much of a new game mechanic, ofc they could do it as companions that follow you, but as soon as your pets dead you'll need a new one. And implementing heling onto pets would just be a ball ache, unless they made a spell, but then pets would be pointless if you werent a mage. Unless they used stamina instead, but then it'd be criticized of copying MMO's.

So i doubt it, but... Mods! They'll most likely be a mod for it. Otherwise make one :p .

And with spells, you could make your own summoning spells that lasted longer couldnt you? And again, if not, Mods :p .
If you are drawn to it...attack it...get obsessed with it and conquer it...it doesn't matter if you think you can do it or not..its all in your head. Nikki Sixx <3

There was an excellent pet mod for Oblivion: Cheydinhal Petshop v17 at The Elder Scrolls Nexus - Mods and community

If you wish you can contact the author over Tesnexus and ask if he or she has any plans for Skyrim.

You can buy a dog to be your companion at the Makath stables for 500 septims.

Can it be killed, or does it only get knocked unconcious?

I don't know, I haven't bought it myself. I just spoke to a guy who wanted 500 septims for it - I believe that's the same price as the sellswords you can hire in taverns and the like and that might indicate that it's a dog for hire LOL!

I bought the dog, must admit, it was an accident, chose the wrong dialogue option, but decided to see how it went.

He's a bit annoying, doesn't stop barking - so don't know if you can sneak with him about - but he's taken loads of damage and doesn't seem to die, unless I accidentally hit him, then he drops immediately...

It's not exactly the perfect solution, but the conjure familiar spell, gives you a magical wolf for a minute or so...

Also, there is a another dog Meeko (located at Meeko's Shack - a good place to crash for free, with a non-respawnable endtable and barrel). He'll follow you if you ask him. He (probably like the other dog from Markath) is a secondary companion, which means that you can have him and a humanoid companion at the same time. Meeko can't be killed except by you.

There is Meeko and Vigilante(dogs),they can be killed and they are very weak(I usually just leave Meeko in my house because its more trouble than its worth).

Barbas(dog) is immortal(he has half the power of a daedric pince :D ),he is a quest NPC but you can keep him forever if you want to.He is not using up a companion,follower/animal slot so you can travel with your normal companion+meeko+barbas f. ex.

There is a power(summon spectral assassin) from DB quests.It lasts until he dies(just in hard battles) and it has 24 hours cooldown but he is annoying because he talks to much.

This is what I found so far

I made an account just to let you know this but yeah lol there are permanent pets. Only thing is that you have to get high in conjuration to get them. (90+) if you go up in the conjuration tree too you can have two out at once. The elemental pets are storm, fire and ice. They're pretty strong but the storm and ice ones do get stuck occasionally in caves. Other than that I have fun with them. You can get undead pets instead but I decided I'd rather the elemental ones so I don't know much about them. Anyways, attack someone that can't die (the people you attack and they simply fall down and get back up after a while) and then conjur up the swords, preferably in both hands. Sheathe them, then repeat until you get it all the way up there. When you hit 90 or higher (I'd wait until 100 so you can get two pets anyways from the perk) go to the conjuration trainer in the college of whitehold. He'll give you a quest to summon a demon and beat it until it gives you what you want. After that, he'll give you the first permanent pet spell and then you can buy the others from there. I hope this helps you, good luck. (also this can be done in about 4-7 hours of played time, probably way less if you know what you're doing unlike me lol)
