The TikToker told New York Post:

"I definitely wouldn't do it again. Even if dog food has high protein content, it's definitely not worth it."
"I would totally rather [have] a nice steak."

A spokesperson for dog food company PEDIGREE told The Post:

"PEDIGREE dog food is formulated for dogs."
"While the food would not be harmful if a human consumed it, we do not recommend pet food for human consumption."

Take it from both TikTokers and professionals - just don't.
