Croci KingDelice TASTY lamb strips, 80 g are a chewy meat treat for dogs. The recipe is as short as it gets: lamb (98.3%) and sorbitol (1%). The guaranteed analysis: protein 35%, fat 3%, fibre 0.1%, ash 5.5%. According to the description, the treat helps maintain oral hygiene and satisfies a dog's natural need to chew. The manufacturer reminds owners that fresh drinking water must always be available. The price is per 80 g pack.
What to know about the ingredients
Almost the whole pack is lamb, so the strips suit dogs that need a single-protein treat. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol added to keep the treat soft and stop it drying out. Protein is high (35%) and fat low (3%), so the strips are a "lean" meat treat. The card does not give the moisture level, and the remaining 0.7% of the recipe is not explained.

Cons and what to watch
- Errors in the description. It mentions "poultry fillets and fruit" and a "beef flavour" — boilerplate for the range; the ingredient is lamb only.
- Sorbitol. In large amounts it can loosen the stool.
- No moisture figure. It is unclear how dry the strips are and how to store them once opened.
- A treat, not food. It does not replace a complete diet.
Lamb for sensitive dogs
If your dog does not tolerate chicken or beef, finding a suitable treat is not easy: many treats contain "poultry" or mixed meats. Strips made almost entirely of lamb help you keep to the diet while still rewarding your dog. On a strict elimination diet, agree any treats with your vet. More in hypoallergenic dog food.
For training
The strips can be torn into tiny pieces, so one pack lasts a long time and your dog gets strong motivation. A tasty meat treat works well when practising difficult commands and on walks with lots of distractions. Ideas and rules are in treats for dog training.
Chewing and teeth
Chewy treats keep a dog occupied and partly remove soft plaque. But they do not replace proper tooth brushing — a brush and toothpaste are still needed. How to choose a chewy treat is covered in chewy treats for dogs: how to choose.
How much to give
Treats should make up no more than a tenth of the daily calories. For a small dog that is a couple of strips a day; a large dog can have more, but then reduce the main food. Because of the sorbitol, do not give the whole pack at once, as it may cause soft stools.
Storage
After opening, close the pack tightly and keep it in a dry, cool place. If the strips start to soften or smell different, it is better not to give them. Always keep a bowl of water nearby, as the manufacturer advises.
Safety
Give the treat under supervision, especially to greedy dogs that swallow pieces whole. For small dogs, tear the strip into pieces. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, start with half a strip and watch the reaction.
Who it suits
The strips suit dogs that need a single-protein meat treat for training and rewards. Other treats are in the dog treats section, and home-made ideas are in home-made dog treats.
Verdict
Croci KingDelice TASTY lamb strips are a meat treat made almost entirely of lamb (98.3%) with sorbitol, 35% protein and 3% fat, and no cereals. The downsides are the mistaken mentions of poultry, fruit and beef flavour in the description, the missing moisture figure, and sorbitol that can loosen the stool in large amounts.
