A character is so down-on-his-luck, so pathetic, so damn broke that they are reduced to actually eating dog food. Bonus loser points if it isn't even good dog food. Sadly, this is Truth in Television — some people are reduced to eating dog food out of desperation. Realistically, depending on what area you live in and what standards you hold, pet food may or may not be more expensive than human food. Pet food is almost universally available in bulk while it can be harder to find human food in such quantities. However, if you have a Sam's Club or whatever near you, chances are you can buy the same amount per ounce of soup or Ramen Noodles as you could buy pet food, especially in a jurisdiction that puts sales tax on pet food but not human food. The nutritional requirements for humans and dogs are very similar, so as long as a person adds vitamin C tablets to the dog food, they could be perfectly well-nourished eating good-quality dog food. A desperate person probably won't be thinking about this, however, and the lack of Vitamin C would apply equally to someone buying ramen and spam. Of course, there are significant quality issues. Some pet food companies spend the money for feeding trials and research and produce foods that are more nutritious than ramen noodles and spam; lending some credibility to Gourmet Pet Food ads. However, the minimum standards required by FDA regulations are pretty minimal, and some Veterinary Nutrition professors claim to be able to meet them with an old leather shoe and a can of motor oil — the nutrients have to be present, but the company only has to prove they're digestible and absorbable if they put a claim about feeding trials on the label. Pricing is often much more market-driven than cost-driven, meaning a company may produce a "super-premium" food that costs ten or twenty times their low-end food, but they could both be crap, or both be excellent. Note that there still are some FDA standards for pet food partly because it is known that human beings do eat pet food sometimes due to cost issues, and because some food-borne illnesses can be passed from pets to people. The official name for some ingredients cover such a wide variety of parts of the animal that it can be impossible to tell from the label alone whether a food contains nutritious organs of the sort predators go for first given the chance or unhealthy bits humans can't digest even mixed into hot dogs. note Modern technology makes it even more complicated, as some foods for pets with food allergies use hydrolyzed proteins, broken down into such small fragments that the immune system can't recognize them but the body can still make use of them; this means they can use normally completely indigestible sources of protein such as feathers, and as long as they put the amino acids in the right balance, they can end up with highly nutritious food that saves the lives of pets that would be euthanized otherwise — but those diets are currently very expensive to make and thus won't be on the menu for this trope! A form of Too Desperate to Be Picky. The inverse of Improbable Food Budget; it tends to pop up in a Broke Episode. A form of I Ate WHAT?!. Because they're eaten with relish, Scooby Snacks don't count. Characters even more poor and desperate than this may be Reduced to Ratburgers instead. The accidental version is Eating Pet Food. Emergency Food Supply Animal cuts out the middleman. A subtrope of Poverty Food. This trope can also pop up in grittier works set After the End, as showing a desperate hero chowing down on dog food is definitely one way to illustrate what a Crapsack World it would be with civilization gone.

In It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Charlie and Frank scarf down cat food and huff paint so they can pass out at night and aren't woken by the hundreds of cats yowling outside their window. Dee points out that there might not be so many cats if Charlie didn't leave half-eaten cans of cat food around. Charlie counters that the cats are more interested in the thousands of rats that also plague the area. He's not stupid! | |

Happens on The Simpsons with a twist - they were just trying to save money. And it wasn't dog food, but something else even more absurd - Canned Plankton bought at the '33 cents store'. Plankton that expired two years before according to the Mexican Council of Food, and gave people "red tide poisoning". Their money-saving adviser steals the scraps from their backyard, calling them fat-cats for wasting it. In "Holidays of Future Past", Maggie travels on a dilapidated, crowded airplane where the passengers are offered dog food and suicide pills. When Gil Gunderson got involved in a car accident, he was happy at the notion of, with help from insurance money, eating food. He didn't even mind being on fire. |

In The Long Dark dog food is one of the available food items you can find. It's bulky for its calorie value and has a higher chance of giving you food poisoning, but if you don't have anything else and no way to hunt or fish like in the early game, it's an option. | |

In Death Road to Canada, sometimes characters will comment on cat food not tasting too bad after it's heated up. Considering food is very generic as pickups during gameplay with no distinction of their nature, and with the game taking place during a Zombie Apocalypse far removed from the usual Cozy Catastrophe, this is hardly unlikely. | |

In The Binding of Isaac you might find different containers of dog food, which raise your HP by one heart.

Red Dwarf: Red Dwarf is a mining ship that has been three million years in space. They ran out of cow milk and switched to their emergency backup supply. Dog's milk. Lister didn't know at first he was drinking it, making it an example of Eating Pet Food, but continued drinking it because there was no other milk available. In "Marooned", Lister — stranded on a freezing planet with almost no supplies — must eat a can. However, he chooses dog food over a Pot Noodle. According to the DVD commentary, that really was dog food. The "Smeg-Ups" special, however, claims it was actually cat food. |

The Sin City story "Rats" features an impoverished old man — all but explicitly a Nazi, and possibly a former concentration camp worker — eating cans of Alpo to survive. Since he already had to abandon London after the "rats" (Mossad) pursued him, the cheap food is another sign, along with his leaking apartment, that he's trying to keep as low a profile as he can. | |

Fallout 4 has canned dog food as a consumable. Labeled "Doghouse beef stew dog feed" Nate/Nora can eat it for 10 hitpoints and +2 radiation, or they can use it as intended with the Wasteland Workshop DLC and use it to bait dog cages. Nowhere in the game can you give it to your dog, however; Dogmeat can only be given stimpaks. | |

Occurs in District 9 where the partially transformed Wikus eats a can of cat food because it's one of the only things he can get inside the alien ghetto. In this movie, cat food is considered a drug for the alien "Prawns". | |

In one episode of The Colbert Report, Colbert mocked Americans who couldn't tell dog food from pâté. According to a recent study, 83% of participants mistook the low-grade animal food for the French delicacy, prompting Colbert to blame high-fructose corn syrup. He went on to say that when he wants pâté, he only chooses the fanciest of feasts. He then proceeded to whip out a can of Fancy Feast cat food and eat it. [1] | |

Fallout: Fallout 4 has canned dog food as a consumable. Labeled "Doghouse beef stew dog feed" Nate/Nora can eat it for 10 hitpoints and +2 radiation, or they can use it as intended with the Wasteland Workshop DLC and use it to bait dog cages. Nowhere in the game can you give it to your dog, however; Dogmeat can only be given stimpaks. Fallout 76 brings it back, but makes it significantly more common than many other pre-war food products and offers it as a quest reward more commonly than other foodstuffs. It even includes a perk that triples its effectiveness as a foodstuff and healing item. |

In Lethal Weapon 3, Murtaugh tries to get Riggs to stop smoking by giving him dog biscuits to chew on instead. Riggs soon develops a taste for them and starts snacking on them when he gets hungry. This continues in the beginning of Lethal Weapon 4, where Riggs is sitting with Lorna and their dog. Lorna goes "Here boy!" and tosses a biscuit which Riggs chomps out of mid-air like a dog. | |

In an episode of Will & Grace, Grace comes in and eats dog food, and actually said it was pretty damn good. However, Will, who is absolutely in love with his boyfriend's dog (more so than the boyfriend himself) is actually cooking the dogs food like a Gourmet meal. He was seen putting hot sauce on it, so it's possible she couldn't even actually taste it. | |

In The PJs, Thurgood sees Mrs. Avery eating dog food and thinks she can't afford to eat... more so than the other people in the projects, I mean. It turns out she could, but she had a lifetime supply of dog food from winning on a game show and didn't know what else to do with it. She ends up taking in a dog to whom she names Lucky (after she shot at him twice and missed), because she can feed it for free. | |

In an episode of Rugrats: In "Tommy's First Birthday", Tommy wants desperately to eat some of the dog food laid out for his dog Spike, after seeing a commercial for it on television. When he tries, Grandpa Lou stops him, and then says, "Hmm...I see your point..." upon looking at a bowl of strained carrots. Thus Tommy goes on a mission to get some dog food. In "Runaway Angelica", Angelica's desperation for cookies forces the babies to use the box of biscuits in Spike's dog food bowl. Prior to the discovery, Angelica thought they were not half bad. Later, the babies wondered if they could partake the rest of the biscuits themselves, however Spike already ate them all. |

In Postal 2, dog food appears as a consumable item. Judging by the Postal Dude's reaction to eating the stuff (lots of gagging and spitting), it's probably not very tasty. It also only heals 1 HP at a time, though if you have a good few of them, then it can make for a handy healing item in a pinch. | |

Pokémon: The Series: Team Rocket (specifically Meowth) were reduced to this level ever since James bought Magikarp... yet they still have enough money for mechas. It's implied that it's because of the mechas that they're constantly reduced to this level - that and the fact that they keep wrecking the mechas. If they could just go with something less flashy, they'd probably have enough money left over to eat decently most of the time. Also, we occasionally see Ash and co. eating like this, too (or without food at all) due to being wandering trainers — and thus having no regular source of income. | |

This creates a comically awkward moment when she brings a meatloaf for the occasion, which they naturally assume is dog food. As a result, the Evans frantically pass the dish around on the slightest excuses, desperate to avoid eating it. In the end, she calls them on it, admitting that while she does eat dog food herself, she would never bring it to dinner with friends. | |

Family Guy had an episode where Meg passes herself off as a single mother to obtain a job at a pancake restaurant. She made up a sob story about feeding Stewie, posing as her son, dog food to obtain tips from patrons who pitied her. Unfortunately, social services gets involved when they get word about an infant being fed dog food and also didn't help that one of their members got their testimonies on Peter's neighbors who were locked in a jealousy-fueled rivalry and used them as slanders without realizing it. | |

Cyberpunk 2077 has "cat food" that you can purchase from food vendors. It can be used to draw out Nibbles the cat so you can adopt them, but there is nothing stopping you from eating it and applying the Nourishment buff to yourself. | |

If you can stand to sit through enough of Showgirls there's a scene where Crystal and Nomi discuss poverty and compare tastes in kibble. | |

In RimWorld, your colonists will eat kibble if there's nothing else available, but they won't be happy about it. | |

An episode of Frasier deals with the titular character worrying about looking like a fool at his upcoming high school reunion, especially since he had been recently fired from his job. He is out purchasing dog food for Eddie while dressed in dirty casual clothes (he had been cleaning his oven and didn't have time to change) and runs into an old classmate, who thinks that Frasier's homeless and that the dog food is for him. Another example in "Agents in America, Part III," has Bebe being incredibly condescending to Daphne, who brings her a ridiculously complicated cup of tea and a biscuit while meeting with Frasier. When Bebe comments the cookie tastes like meat, Daphne simply responds, "Yes, and it'll remove tartar and give you a nice shiny coat!" |

Spongebob Squarepants is apparently the first and only citizen of his entire town to deliberately eat snail food. It wasn't because he was starving, but rather because he was curious about how it tasted. Turns out, not very good. Later, Squidward does this when he's locked upstairs at Spongebob's house and realizes he doesn't have anything to eat besides whatever's in a brown paper bag on the floor. It's snail food. Happens again to Spongebob in another earlier episode, where the accidental injection of snail plasma from a vet causes him to eat all the snail food he prepared for Gary because he suddenly found it delicious. |

More of a dig at military food, but there's one strip in Air Force Blues where Coffman's food budget is running low, so he eats Alpo, even though the food at the base mess hall is free. | |

An episode of Night Court had Harry tasked with finding someone to gift with a winning lottery ticket; the entire episode was a parade of people with more or less blatantly made up sob stories, including an old woman up before him for shoplifting catfood to eat. When Harry asked why she didn't shoplift 'real' food, she started to say 'Catfood was more...' and trailed off. Harry finished '...pathetic. Next case!' Which is a call out to a PSA for a New York food pantry which showed an elderly woman buying nothing but cat food at the grocery with the caption "This woman has no cat" appearing on the bottom of the page. |
