If I die alone at home, how many hours or days will it be until my pet dog or cat eats me?

Mate it would be done within seconds of your heart stopping.
That's a really interesting question. I personally don't think that a dog would rats the dead body of its owner unless it had nothing else to eat. I'm not sure about cats though. They seem to display affection toward their humans, but I think that cats would have an issue with eating its human.

Dog will eat you as soon as you don't smell like yourself anymore and it's hungry.
Cat will eat you whenever it's hungry.

Cats would definitely do your corpse in first.

I think sometimes after they ran out of food, and only if you hadn't decomposed so badly yet (unless they are trully desperate)

Cats find it safe.
Dogs eat you first.
Pretty sure no one has ever studied this question empirically.
The only reason I find the idea of my pet eating me after I die a problem is because then my organs probably couldn't be donated.
Rather have the body put to some kind of use desu
