Will my dog eat me if I'm dead?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Dogs normally don't eat you immediately after you die. But there's always an exception to the rule. Unlike wild animals, there's usually a "waiting period" before a domesticated dog will ravish your body. 8 янв. 2015 г.


How long until my dog eats me if I die?

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.

Do dogs know if you're dead?

Although dogs don't experience the range of emotions that humans do, they can still perceive when something isn't quite right. They are very much aware of when their family is in mourning, even though they may not know that someone has died.

Do pets eat dead owners?

No one tracks the frequency of pets scavenging their expired owners' bodies, but dozens of such case reports appear in forensic science journals over the last 20 years or so, and they're the best window we have into a situation dreaded by pet owners: dying alone and being eaten.
