The bag holds 4 lb (64 oz, about 1.81 kg) of meat-free, grain-free kibble for cats, and the recipe includes the Opti Biom blend of prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics. The pieces come in a pellet form rather than a flake or a chunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat leads the ingredient list?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDried yeast comes first on the ingredient list, and it is the ingredient the formula relies on as its protein source. Dried yeast is a commonly used food ingredient, and here it supplies the nutrients and amino acids that animal proteins such as chicken also provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the list moves through potato protein, canola oil preserved with mixed tocopherols, miscanthus herb, green peas and pea protein, then suncured alfalfa meal, apple pomace, flaxseeds and sunflower oil, again preserved with mixed tocopherols. Carrot, natural flavour, green lentils, calcium carbonate, sesame seeds, monocalcium phosphate, tapioca, yeast culture, lecithin, choline chloride and salt follow, along with DL-methionine and a mineral mix that includes potassium chloride, ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide and zinc proteinate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNHC12001\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdult\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem form\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePellet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTarget audience\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCats\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecial ingredients\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003enon-GMO nutritional dry yeast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIngredients\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDried yeast, potato protein, canola oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols), miscanthus herb, green peas, pea protein, suncured alfalfa meal, apple pomace, flaxseeds, sunflower oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols), carrot, natural flavour, green lentils, calcium carbonate, sesame seeds, monocalcium phosphate, tapioca, yeast culture, lecithin, choline chloride, salt, DL-methionine, Minerals (potassium chloride, ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, zinc proteinate, copper sulfate, copper proteinate, sodium selenite, manganese oxide, manganese proteinate, calcium iodate, cobalt proteinate), calcium sulfa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 Pound (Pack of 1)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem dimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 x 10 x 32 cm (13.8 x 3.9 x 12.6 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.81 kg (3.99 lb)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUnit count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64 ounce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecial features\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHypoallergenic, Grain Free, Opti BiomTM Probiotic Blend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA meat-free recipe with a probiotic blend\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe formula is meat free, and the dried yeast at the top of the list stands in for animal protein.
