The ingredients look fair (not great) for a treat.

Protein content in treats really doesn't matter because her protein requirement should be met with the food she gets.

With canned foods and food rolls you have to convert the food to a dry matter basis to figure out how much protein and fat it really contains because of all the moisture. So you are just mathematically taking the water content out to see protein and fat content.

All you do is divide the protein (or fat) by the reciprocal of the moisture.
So the protein is 11% and the moisture is 40%.
The reciprocal of the moisture is 60% (100-40).
So 11 divided by 60 is about 18%.
