How long before a dog eats its dead owner?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

At some point, the body will start to go rotten past the point of the dog wanting to eat it, and I know dogs can go a little longer than humans without eating. I'd guess around five to seven days would be the right time to dig in, as long as the human-meat is still fresh enough. 28 мая 2019 г.


How long until a dog eats a dead owner?

On average, your dog will eat you within 5-7 days after your death. Sooner if instinct kicks in, but likely they won't start eating until they've run out of dog food and have no other option. After 7 days, your body will start to decompose and no longer be that appealing to a dog's appetite.

Has a dog ever eaten its dead owner?

In one 2007 report, a Chow and a Labrador mix survived for about a month after consuming their dead owner's body, leaving only the top of the skull and an assortment of bone shards. Yet in the 1997 case, the German shepherd began eating parts of its owner soon after death.

What do dogs do if their owner dies?

Dogs alter their behavior when they mourn, much like people do: They may become depressed and listless. They may have a decreased appetite and decline to play. They may sleep more than usual and move more slowly, sulking around.
