Rose Urate Crystals and Low Protein Diet

Hello everyone. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I have a few more questions about my baby's diet.

Earlier I had posted about her being diagnosed with struvite crystals. I wasn't 100% sure about the diagnosis and since the lab didn't find crystals in the urine, I took in my own sample a while later. Well, the vet was wrong and it wasn't struvite, it was urate crystals. I just started her on the Hills U/D food and she's not supposed to have any meat, rawhide bones, etc. in her diet. After 2 months, she's going to be eating the Chicken Soup food, which my vet says is fine for her to be on.

My issue for now is about treats. The vet let me continue giving her these Pedigree brand cookies since they are low in protein. The problem is that I can only find those in Mexico and I bought the only 2 bags I could find before I came back to the States. I tried looking through all the treats at Petco for something low in protein and couldn't find anything. Does anyone have an recommendations?

Also, are the Nylabone Healthy Edibles chews low protein? I read the back and it says 1% protein, but I want to make sure. My baby always needs to have her "pacifier" at night. She always has to chew on something during the evenings. Thank you everyone for your help!!!
