Distillers grains are a high fat high protein (as the carbohydrates have been removed for fermentation) Generally the grains are of significantly higher value per mass (i believe) than corn both economically and nutritionally due to the high fat/protein content

The allergies that most dogs have to present formulations of pet food will be magnified by the use of this waste material.

All kinds of drugs are being prescribed for this at great cost, while the problem remains the additives in the food that dogs don't naturally eat.

With ethanol waste added to food, pet health will suffer and healthcare costs will soar.

Not sure how this could be good for pets. DDGS are desired by CAFO operators because it's a cheap way to fatten livestock. I have a hard enough time keeping kitty's weight down as it is without the addition of something designed to make animals fat.
