Urate Crystals and Low Protein Diet

[GAOMariposa]

Would it be possible for me to make here these cookies that I found from the sticky on this section of the forum?

LEO'S COOKIES (an original recipe from Pilar Passmore)

1/2 brick regular or low-fat cream cheese
2 cups whole-wheat flour
6 ounces carrot baby food
3 ounces olive oil
Splash of vanilla

Would this be considered low protein? I feel so bad not giving her any treats and she keeps asking for her cookies (which I am now out of). Any help, please?

Lady has multiple health issues including diabetes and liver disease, but we would never give up her cookies!

I swear by the Thrive treats. They are made with all natural ingredients and low protein. The pumpkin spice is 12% protein, the veggie cheese 15%.

Itty Bitty Buddy Biscuits Sweet Potato Madness is only 8% protein.

I looked through my entire store, the lowest protein treats seem to be sweet potato chews. There is a particular one from Sams Yams called Bichon Fries, which are made for the smaller dogs.

There's a lot of different opinions about what to feed pets and humans that tend develop urate and or calcium oxalate stones.

A lot of people recommend a low Oxalate diet and use this as a guide

Thank you for the suggestions. I just wasn't sure how low is low enough for her treats. I took her Alpha Vit cookies to the vet and he said they were fine. So I figured I would continue with those. But since I couldn't find any in Mexico and I can't find any here, I wasn't sure how much protein would be allowed. I think I'm going to have her try the sweet potato treats. She's a picky eater, so I have to keep my fingers crossed that she'll like them. Thank you for the suggestions!

P.S. Your bows are very nice. When I get my Yorkie, I will need to purchase some from you.

Thank you so much for the treat suggestion and for that wonderful link to the low oxalate diet. It is super helpful. It seems like the sweet potato treats are the way to go. I'm going to try those out. I have a picky eater, so I usually wind up with bags and bags of treats that she didn't like. Hopefully, she likes those. Thank you for looking through your store for me.
