Software stores the records. It does not decide the disciplinary.
Crocodile describes itself as all in one HR software for small businesses, with holiday tracking, records, documents and a mobile app, priced in published bands. For a practice that only needs the admin layer, that may honestly be enough.
The hard part of practice HR is rarely storage. It is the grievance nobody saw coming, the contract for a part time RVN with irregular hours, the rota that keeps collapsing. Vet HR gives you the systems and the consultant, so the record keeping and the judgement live in one place.
Taken from crocodile.hr's own published pages, as checked in July 2026.
Crocodile's pages describe an HR software product. No human advice line appears on any page we could find. Ask who will answer your employment law questions when a disciplinary, a flexible working request or a resignation letter lands, because the software will not.
Pricing is published in clear bands, credit to them, and the 14 day trial can be cancelled at any time. What is not published is what applies afterwards: minimum term, notice period and how prices change. Ask before the trial ends, not after.
The veterinary page lists payroll management while the product pages describe payroll ready reports, and the feature set reads the same as the other sector pages. Confirm in a demo exactly what exists, and whether anything is genuinely veterinary specific rather than positioning.
Every system carries your practice's name and branding, not ours. These are the ones that matter most here.
If all you need is holiday tracking and a tidy staff database, an off the shelf tool at a published price may genuinely be the right call, and we will tell you so. Vet HR exists for practices where the hard part is deciding what to do: contracts, disputes, rotas, inspections. You get systems and a consultant, not just a login.
No, because every practice's build is different. What we promise instead: a written quote per practice before any work begins, no surprise extras, and a free HR health check first so you know whether we are worth quoting at all.
Yes. Plenty of practices start with a fixed price consultancy project, contracts or a policy suite, while keeping whatever admin tools already work for them. Systems can come later, or never. The quote tells you exactly what you are choosing between.
Yes. We work with independent UK practices from roughly five staff upwards, and small teams are usually where a single HR mistake costs proportionally most. The free health check is the honest way to find out what you actually need.
