[He proceeds to stuff Bobbo's face with "cookies," which are actually dog biscuits; George has picked up the wrong box!]
'''George Newman''': Right, Bobbo? That's right! And guess what, Mom? THEY'RE NUTRITIOUS, TOO! Just look at how much Bobbo here likes 'em! Mmmm, THAT'S GOOD! And don't forget, there's a nifty surprise inside every box of Mrs. Hackenberger's...
[notices his mistake for the first time]
'''George Newman''': ... Oooops! Heh Heh, it looks like Bobbo's been eating YAPPY'S DOG TREATS!
[a look of horror crosses Bobbo's face, and he runs off to the "little clowns' room."]
'''George Newman''': That's right, Yappy's Dog Treats! Your dog will love that real liver-and-tuna taste...
[We hear Bobbo vomiting]
'''George Newman''': ... With just a hint of cheese! }}
Line 52:
* In ''The Egg and I'' by Betty MacDonald, the author recalls that, during her childhood, she knew children who ate dog biscuits.
** In ''The Unadulterated Cat'' by [[Terry Pratchett]], the author recalls doing so himself.

* The [[Future Slang]] glossary at the back of the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Virgin New Adventures|New Adventures]] novel ''Transit'' includes "Petfood Monster" for an extremely poor person.
* Used as a form of [[Ironic Hell]] in the [[Philip K. Dick]] short story ''The Alien Mind'', where some animal-loving aliens discover that a visiting Earth astronaut has killed the cat sent along with him on the mission. The aliens steal all his food, leaving him with nothing but sacks of dry cat kibble to eat for his two-year return trip to Earth. Just to twist the knife, they're all the same flavor.

* ''[[3rd Rock from the Sun]]'' had a [[Broke Episode]] in which the Solomons ate cat food, not realizing what it was:
{{quote|
'''Tommy''': Wait, you're feeding us ''cat''?
'''Sally''': It's not cat, Tommy, it's salmon. There's just a picture of a cat on the label. }}
* From ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' (also a [[Take That]], since Lister chose dog food over a Pot Noodle):
{{quote|
'''Rimmer''': You're going to eat the dog food.
'''Lister''': I haven't eaten for six days. Yes, I'm going to eat the dog food.
'''Rimmer''': I'm sure the dog food will be lovely.
'''Lister''': This isn't dog food. It's a piece of prime fillet steak in blue cheese sauce. It's been charcoal broiled in garlic butter, and it's going to taste delicious. Delicious. Delicious.
''(He pops it into his mouth and swallows it.)''
'''Lister''': ...Now I know why dogs lick their testicles. It's to take away the taste of their food. }}
** According to the DVD commentary, that really was dog food.
Line 122:
* In ''[[The PJs]]'', Thurgood sees Mrs. Avery eating cat 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 cat food from winning on a game show. She ends up taking in a cat, because she can feed it for free.
* ''[[Futurama]]'' has Bachelor Chow, a dog food like product that you put in a bowl, fill with water, and eat like cereal.

** Also played straight in a single line from Victor the car salesman after selling Amy an expensive car (which she bought for more than the sticker price).

* [[Scooby Doo|Shaggy Rogers]], probably. It's never actually explained if Scooby Snacks are dog treats or human snacks, but the former seems most likely.
* ''[[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's weird.
