Hello,
One of my ranger player last night was all excited to get his wolf animal companion at level 4. When I told him he had only -3HD from his level (1HD), he was a little dissapointed.
He then asked me if it was possible for his wolf to wear an armor. I checked everywhere on https://www.d20pfsrd.com/ but couldn't find any armor for animal companion nor any rule for such thing. I told him that his wolf didn't have any proficiency to wear armor, he would get penalty even if a custom one was built for him. He asked me if it was possible with level advancement for his wolf to gain a feat. Perplexed but not set on turning his request down if it was possible, I told him I would check.
Any idea if it is possible and how it would work?
Thanks
This is the PF2e forum, not 1e FYI. Also Animal Companions could definitely wear armour in 1st edition IIRC, look up barding. Also look at the Charger Animal Companion archetype.
That lead me in the right direction:

Going ahead and giving a 1e answer before this gets moved, your ranger should pick up Boon Companion at 5 to make his wolf scale at the appropriate level. Pretty much a mandatory feat for any character with a low scaling animal companion.
