Just an idle thought. Imagine that tragically you have died at home and your faithful pooch was nearby. Obviously your canine friend will stand guard over you but surely might get peckish?

I'd just be grateful it waited till I was dead first.

What with your profession, I do not want to think about how you know that.

Mrs A is convinced that Willow would wait till we were dead. I'm not so sure myself. However, I reckon Willow-pooch would snack on Mrs A before me, 'cos I (like to think of myself as the) Pack Leader.

What about micro-pigs? And I'm not buying any crows soon.

Lop-eared giant bunnies?

Can you get house-hedge-hogs?

A fair few of my spiders and scorpions would want to kill me but then eat the things eating me. A snake tried to eat me once but that’s because it thought I was a mouse, easy mistake.

The dogs would probably turn they’re noses up at my corpse, but the Ferrets dont seem to mind if I’m dead or alive before trying to take chunks out of me.

I've been bitten twice by other people's dogs in the last couple of weeks so I'd say it's likely

My dog woulve been eaten long before we would get to an alpha challenging 'whose hungrier' fight.
But yep, dog eating a dead me vs starvation and i would expect to be lunch.
Great shower thought though!

Probably not

We tried them on raw meat diet and they didn't like it (nor did the cats)
They are pretty fussy
They each weigh 1.5kg so the body would be decomposed before they made any impact to it.

OH has had to take a dog to a shelter that had stacked on its former owner. Surprisingly they weren't going to mention that to the next prospective owners.

I doubt my cats would wait 6 hours.

I read very recently that this diet isn't advised anymore because of potential health risks 🙁

Mine probably would but only if I died about an inch from her face

I doubt mine would as

a) he's too thick to realise I'm food
b) he's got no teeth any more

No, she likes people too much. She would sit by me and bark. And bark. And bark.

My cat has hasn’t waited for my demise. Knuckles, toes and elbows - all have been gnawed with small cat teeth. I used to put it down to teething but she’s 18 months old now.

I'd certainly hope both the cat and dog would tuck in. Plenty to go round now I'm a fat xxxx

There are risks if you don't do it properly yes. A key part if freezing the meat for many weeks to completely kill everything off. Can then defrost and eat.
