The consumption of protein is a crucial aspect in building muscle and is a primary focus for fitness enthusiasts. A recent TikTok video showcasing gym-goers consuming wet dog food to increase their protein intake has gained widespread attention. The trend has sparked both curiosity and controversy, as the appropriateness of this unconventional protein source remains a topic of debate.
A TikTok user by the name of Henry Clarisey has drawn public interest by experimenting with dog food as a potential protein option. Despite the high protein content found in dog food and cat food, health officials have noted that these meal options are intended for animal consumption and are not suitable for human consumption. Clarisey was reportedly inspired to try this unusual protein source after discovering the protein content of Pedigree dog food, which was listed at a staggering 666 grams on the MyFitnessPal app.

Athletes and bodybuilders have long adopted a “whatever it takes” attitude in pursuit of gym gains. This mindset has led to the recent emergence of a viral TikTok trend featuring individuals consuming dog and cat food in an effort to increase their protein intake. In one such video, TikTok user Henry Clarisey tested a popular brand of cat food, which accumulated 3.3 million views.
In a similar vein, the world of TikTok recently witnessed a new trend in which bodybuilders paid over $13,000 for breast milk. While this may seem unconventional to some, British mother of two Mila De’brito was happy to provide the sought-after milk and profit from the growing demand. The lengths to which athletes and bodybuilders will go to acquire vital nutrients and protein have reached new heights, as they continue to experiment with unconventional food sources.

The internet is no stranger to bizarre trends, and TikTok has become a hub for the latest and greatest in viral sensations. Recently, fitness enthusiasts have been turning to dog food as a protein source, with one such video gaining significant traction on the platform. Henry Clarisey, a prominent figure in the TikTok fitness community, posted a video of himself consuming wet dog food in the hopes of increasing his protein intake. The trend, which started as a lighthearted joke, has raised concerns about the appropriateness of this protein source, as health officials have noted that these products are intended for animal consumption only.
After his video went viral, Clarisey took to TikTok to address the trend and express his concerns. He revealed that his video had been featured in articles by Buzzfeed and the Daily Mail, bringing even more attention to the trend. However, Clarisey emphasized that the video was intended as a joke and that he did not encourage others to follow in his footsteps. In fact, he reached out to MyFitnessPal and discovered that many users had started tracking their dog food intake after his video gained popularity.

In recent times, fitness enthusiasts have been adopting unconventional diets in a bid to gain muscle mass. One such person is Brian Johnson, popularly known as Liver King, who follows a carnivorous diet and often consumes raw meat and animal organs. Similarly, Weam Brieche made headlines after posting his high-protein breakfast of six uncooked eggs and a raw beef brain on social media.
However, with the recent surge in people trying to eat dog and cat food for protein, Henry Clarisey, the TikTok gym bro who initially went viral for eating dog food, is now discouraging others from following in his footsteps. In an attempt to put an end to the trend, Clarisey has asked people not to consume pet food and has emphasized that his original video was only meant as a joke.
