In 2020, Katie’s pet dog Rolo was suffocated in her home, while her Alsatian Sparkle was mowed down in February of the same year, in shocking echoes of the death of her dog Queenie, who was killed in 2018.
In July 2020, Katie was criticised by animal rights activists after Rolo’s suffocation. The French bulldog died after getting stuck in an electric armchair while the reality star was packing some bags in another room, reported The Mirror.
Rolo was given to her daughter Princess as a birthday present and is the third dog of the family’s to die in tragic circumstances.
Katie later revealed her shock after she was illegally advised to give her late puppy Rolo cannabis oil before he ‘suffocated to death in an armchair’.
The late French bulldog, which was bought as a present for her daughter Princess’ 13th birthday, fell asleep under an electric chair after having the non-psychoactive cannabis derivative and later ‘suffocated’ after the family’s nanny sat on the chair.
Katie told the Mirror that she was unaware that it is illegal to give dogs the substance without a veterinary prescription, in accordance with the The Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2013.

Rolo’s death came just months after her Alsatian Sparkle’s tragic death when she ran onto a busy road outside her previous home. She was killed on the A24 after escaping from Katie’s house, which she has since moved out of and is on the market.
One of Katie’s horses was tragically killed on the same road in 2017 after escaping from a field.
The star, 41, suffered further tragedy in 2018 when her Alsatian Queenie was struck and killed by a delivery driver.
The star took to Instagram to pay tribute to her one-year-old German Shepherd, who was gifted to her by then-husband Kieran Hayler back in 2016.
She penned: ‘I’m absolutely Devastated heartbroken my faithful loving family dogs life Queenie has been shortened as she was killed by a heartless delivery driver who ran into our dog seeing her struggle and drove off without telling us and left her to die very disappointed a human being can be this heartless! (sic)’
It was initially reported the driver was from pizza giant Domino’s, yet bosses at the company refuted claims their driver was to blame.
Sweet: She shared videos of her pooches playing together – including Blade and Buddy and Carl’s dog Sid
A Domino’s spokesman said in a statement to OK! Online: ‘We were very sorry to hear this news and have given Ms Price our heartfelt sympathies
‘Our investigation revealed our driver inadvertently called Ms Price’s property via the security gate intercom, whilst trying to make a delivery to a neighbour.
Upon realising the error, GPS tracking reveals she went straight to the correct address. Our driver remained on public roads and had no access to Ms. Price’s land.
‘Our driver holds a clean, valid EU driving license and maintains she did not hit an animal. She has voluntarily contacted the police but has been told no criminal charges are pending. We want to understand what happened and have asked Ms Price to share the CCTV to help our investigation.’
‘Unfortunately, despite repeatedly requesting, we’re still unable to get a crime reference number or sight of the CCTV Katie mentioned, to help our investigation.’
