Yep. Ellie May has done the dry matter conversion for you, so that's what she's explaining.
Has a vet or vet nutritionist recommended this extremely low protein %...? It's hard to imagine that level of protein supporting even a kidney issue dog. Please consult w/ an expert about this, bc an unbalanced/insufficient diet could be more dangerous to her health/longevity than her kidney issues.
