Crocodile is one of the most genuinely novel proteins available in the UK dog treat market — most dogs have never encountered it, which makes it a practical option for elimination diet protocols, dogs with diagnosed sensitivities to common proteins, or owners looking for a high-value treat that actually holds their dog's attention. Hairy Dogs crocodile chews are 100% crocodile meat sourced from sustainable farms in Australia, single ingredient, with no additives, preservatives, or grain. At 80% protein and 4.2% fat they sit at the leaner end of the chew category.

  • A genuine novel protein: Crocodile is unrelated to chicken, beef, pork, lamb, or fish — the proteins most dogs are routinely exposed to. This makes it a clean option for dogs on food sensitivity protocols where common proteins have been ruled out, and a useful high-value treat for dogs that have become indifferent to more familiar flavours.
  • 100% single ingredient: Just crocodile meat — nothing added. No cereal, no grain, no artificial preservatives or flavourings.
  • Australian sustainable sourcing: Sourced from crocodile farms in Australia, which are regulated for both animal welfare and environmental standards. Farm-raised crocodile is the standard commercial source for pet treats in this category.
  • Crunchy texture for dental benefit: The natural abrasive action of chewing works against plaque and tartar build-up on the teeth. Not a substitute for brushing, but a functional complement to dental hygiene.
  • 80% protein, 4.2% fat: High protein, low fat — appropriate for dogs on calorie-managed diets, weight-management programmes, or high-protein raw and natural feeding plans.

Which size?

The single chew (£1.50) is a practical trial option — if your dog has never tried crocodile, start here before committing to a larger quantity. The 100g pack (£7.99) is better value for dogs that respond well and owners who want to use crocodile regularly as a training treat or daily reward.

Feeding guide

Feed as a treat or reward alongside a complete, balanced diet. Suitable from 8 weeks. Always supervise during chewing and ensure fresh water is available.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Hairy Dogs crocodile chews are part of our curated range of novel protein treats — stocked for dogs with sensitivities or owners looking for something genuinely different from standard treat offerings.

Common questions

Will my dog actually enjoy crocodile?
Most dogs respond very positively to crocodile — the novel protein carries a distinctive scent that dogs tend to find highly appealing, particularly dogs that have become habituated to more common meat treats. It also has a satisfying crunch, which many dogs engage with well. That said, individual responses vary, which is why the single chew at £1.50 is a sensible starting point before buying the 100g pack.
Is this suitable for dogs on elimination diets or with protein allergies?
Yes — crocodile is a novel protein with no cross-reactivity with chicken, beef, pork, lamb, or fish. The single-ingredient formula means there are no hidden additives, grain, or secondary proteins that could trigger a reaction. For dogs undergoing a veterinary elimination diet trial, always confirm with your vet before introducing any new food, including novel protein treats.
How does crocodile compare to other novel proteins like kangaroo or venison?
All three are genuinely novel for most UK dogs. Nutritionally they are broadly similar — high protein, lean, single ingredient. The main practical differences are texture and scent. Crocodile has a firmer, crunchier texture than most jerky-style treats. Kangaroo and venison tend to be available in more formats (sticks, strips, jerky). For elimination diet purposes, all three are valid options — the choice comes down to which your dog responds to best and what you have already tried.
Are these safe — is there a splintering risk?
These are meat chews, not bone chews, so the splintering risk associated with hard bone does not apply. The dried meat texture will break down progressively as your dog chews rather than fracturing into sharp fragments. As with any treat, supervise your dog during chewing and remove the chew if they are attempting to swallow large pieces whole rather than chewing them properly.
Are these suitable for puppies?
Suitable from 8 weeks. The crunchy texture is firmer than a soft treat, so assess whether it is appropriate for your puppy's stage of development and always supervise. For very young puppies, a softer treat such as our jerky sticks may be easier to manage until their teeth are more developed.
What does "sustainably sourced" mean for crocodile?
The crocodile used in these chews comes from regulated farm-raised operations in Australia, where crocodile farming operates under government-administered welfare and environmental standards. Farm-raised crocodile is the standard supply source for commercial pet treats in this category — it is a more controlled and traceable supply chain than wild-caught alternatives.
