Katie Price visited by the RSPCA after her dog died as star insists ‘this is a deliberate target to kill him’
KATIE Price has told fans that she’s been visited by the RSPCA after her dog died.
The former glamour model insisted that there was a “deliberate target to kill him,” as she shared what happened.
Katie’s protection dog Blade was killed after being hit by a car, meaning the star has now lost seven animals.
It is the latest pet tragedy for Katie following the deaths of numerous other animals in and around her Sussex home.
In an update to fans on social media today, Katie wrote: “Update RSPCA have been up to my house not having any concerns about my animals and never have or had.
“But we are trying to put together how blade has been killed and his last steps as this is a deliberate target to kill him.”
The star then shared a second image of herself, and penned: “Today I stay positive and looking after number one is also a must I run the ship and I’m now steering which way I go.”
Earlier this week, Katie announced the passing of Blade, writing: “Words can’t express the lost of my best friend my protector my absolutely everything who had sadly passed away today I have no words to say how I’m feeling but numb and shocked rip Blade.”
Grove Lodge Veterinary Group alerted the public to the incident this morning, writing on its Facebook page: “Unfortunately we have had a large shepherd dog handed into our OOH team last night.
“Found on the A24 near dial post. The dog does not have a microchip, however was wearing a brown Louis Vuitton collar.”
The tragedy happened just seven months after another of Katie’s dogs, Sharon, was killed on the same road.
A driver picked the Pomeranian off the A24 and took her to Arun Vets in Pulborough, West Sussex, who confirmed the death.
A source close to Katie said it was “rotten luck” that Sharon was hit and Katie was “in bits”.
It followed a litany of five other known deaths — more are alleged — which began in 2017 when one of her horses perished after being struck by a motor.
A year on a delivery driver hit her Alsatian, Queenie, who was gifted to her by ex Kieran hayler on her 38th birthday.
Chameleon Marvin died of a “broken heart” the same year when her kids Princess and Junior went to stay with her ex Peter Andre.
In 2020 a second Alsatian, Sparkle, was hit by a car after escaping onto the same road that claimed blade’s life.
Months later, French Bulldog Rolo suffocated.
The family’s nanny sat on the pup after it dozed off under a chair when Katie illegally gave it vet prescription-only cannabis oil.
