Katie Price gets seventh dog despite many of her pets suffering grisly deaths

Katie Price has added a seventh dog into her menagerie, despite calls for her to be banned from owning pets.

The veteran glamour model, 45, doesn't have the best track record when it comes to keeping animals and has come under fire in the past following the deaths of at least seven pets in her care.

An online petition was even launched to try and stop her from getting more.

Paying no heed to her haters, Price explained on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, how another four-legged friend came into her life.

“Fifteen minutes before I come on her, I get a call from a friend across the road, ‘Kate, someone has just given me a puppy, they can’t have it, can you have it?’" she explained to her sister Sophie, 33.

"I am like, ‘What is it?’ ‘A black Labrador’ and I went, ‘Aw I really can’t have any more dogs’ and I said just bring it over.

“So I have got a nine-week-old Labrador puppy. They had puppies, sold it to someone and they got it for their kid who has got autism but the kid is going absolutely mad with it.

"They have had it three weeks, the puppy must be 12 weeks, sorry. Tiny it is.

“I said, ‘Bring it around, so I have rescued a dog.”

Sophie then questioned why she would get another one, to which she replied: “I couldn’t say no, it turned up and needs a home, so I have rescued a black Labrador pup.

"The dogs are all going crazy and it’s a little girl and I don’t normally have little girls because of their periods because it’s mess, but I couldn’t say no.

“So now I have added another dog to the six dogs and just like kids,  I am like, ‘What difference is another one?’ So I have two puppies to train at the moment.”The mum-of-five already cares for four Chihuahuas named Captain, Buddy, Colin, and Batman, a French Bulldog named Precious and a German Shepherd called Tank.

In June of this year, Price's protection dog Blade was hit by a car.

The tragedy happened just seven months after another of Price's dogs, Sharon, was killed on the same road.

The year before that, a delivery driver hit her Alsatian, Queenie, who was gifted to her by ex Kieran Hayler on her 38th birthday.

In 2020 a second Alsatian, Sparkle, was hit by a car after escaping onto the A24.

Months later, French Bulldog Rolo suffocated after being squashed underneath a chair.

Price has also had to give away an out-of-control Alsatian, Bear, for attacking other animals.
