How long does it take for a dead body to stink?

Answer 1

There isn't really an accurate answer to this because the rate of decomposition depends on the temperature and other environmental factors. If maggots get into the body then the smell will happen quicker and can spread further in a breeze. It might be 24 hours or it might be less.

Answer 2

Only when the animal just got killed,not after a week.

Not so if you live in the south in summer. Been trying to locate a dead squirrel that cats or critters moved for 2 weeks now and the only reason i finally found it, (under my car i rarely drive) is because it still reeked. By the way, does cinnamon neutralize dead animal odor? and how do i use it?

Answer 3

Depending on the temperature where the dog is, the colder the room the longer it will take I'f the room or place the pet is, is more than 80 degrees the dog will decompose faster but it usually takes up to 72 hours after the joints get stiff.

Answer 4

The decomposition process typically begins within 24 to 72 hours after death, leading to the release of gases that produce a strong odor. The intensity of the smell can vary depending on factors such as environmental conditions, body size, and location. It's important to contact authorities if you suspect a deceased individual is present to ensure proper handling and investigation.
