So I was wanting to know when reading treats what number should I stay at or under with fat and protein. Some treats say fat is 7% or 5% and not sure what any of it means like what’s a good rule of thumb when buying her things?? Also how much food do I feed her for her size and Weight my vet is closed on weekends and this all just happened Friday? Thank you for your time.

You might want to stick to the Royal Canin Gastrointestinal treats - the percentage of fat depends on the reason for suggesting a low fat diet, and you would need to convert the percentage on the bag to a dry matter basis to really compare, which can be difficult. You could also contact your vet and see what they would recommend based on Kiwi's specific case. If Kiwi's weight is ideal the general guide recommends giving 1.5 cups per day.
