Katie Price overwhelmed with her puppy Tank in her IVF documentary – filmed months before she rehomed him after ‘losing interest’

Katie Price overwhelmed with her puppy Tank in her IVF documentary – filmed months before she rehomed him after ‘losing interest’

This is the moment Katie Price seemed to be overwhelmed with looking after her children and animals in her new IVF documentary, with her German Shepherd puppy Tank making an appearance.

Katie reportedly gave away Tank in January 2024 because the pet pooch no longer ‘looked cute on Instagram’. 

The Channel 4 show, which was filmed in 2023 before she split with Carl Woods, documents the couple’s fertility treatment journey as they planned to have another baby.

In the second episode, Katie was seen at home watching over her dogs and kids as she awaited a call from the fertility clinic while Carl was at work.

As the camera panned to the outside of her home, the former glamour model could be heard shouting: ‘Jett, could you just get the dog? He’s chewing that wire.’

Katie shares son Jett, 11, and daughter Bunny, 10, with ex-husband Kieran Hayler. She is also mum to Harvey, 22, with former footballer Dwight York, and Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, with her first husband Peter Andre.

Stepping in to help, Jett responded: ‘He’s already ruined it,’ as he began to tidy away a fan that puppy Tank had got his teeth into. 

‘That’s puppies for you,’ she laughed, before adding, ‘And the kitchen was so tidy and now it’s a mess. Like, help me’.

Katie put her hands on her head as the camera panned around to all the dogs, as well as a sink full of dishes.

‘And I want another baby? Jesus,’ she joked, as she continued playing with the puppy and watching her son, while waiting on the phone to ring.

The mother-of-five decided to get rid of Tank, which was her seventh pet, after ‘losing interest’ in him because she needed to ‘train’ him, reported The Sun at the time.

Friends reportedly claimed it is a recurring theme for Katie, who just before gave another pet dog to a local tradesman.

A source said: ‘Katie only got Duke a few months ago but she gave him away to her electrician.

‘She loves getting puppies that look cute on Instagram but when they start to grow up and she has to train them she loses interest.’

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Katie Price for comment.

It came after Katie was accused of hitting Tank in a TikTok Live last year, after activists called for her to be banned from keeping animals.

She revealed in August she’d adopted a new pet after the death of her protection dog Blade in June 2023.

And in a livestream, users claimed that Katie appeared to slap Tank off-screen after he began sitting on her clothes.

In the stream, Tank had been messing around while Katie spoke to her followers, explaining she was trying to get her kids and the dog ‘settled’.

She yelled: ‘Get off! You’re sitting on my jumpers, my love jumpers that I love. Get off. Jesus Christ… Anyway, as I was saying…’

As Tank moved out of sH๏τ, Katie could be seen raising her hand to the animal, with users claiming they heard a ‘loud smack’.

Laughing it off, Katie said: ‘It’s hectic in here,’ while her friend added: ‘It’s like having a baby – worse actually. At least a baby would just sit there.’

Several users then commented under Katie’s post claiming she’d slapped the puppy, with one writing: ‘Did she just hit her dog?’ while another added: ‘Omggggg.’

Leading animal charity PETA has previously slammed Katie after her seventh pet died in her care – saying she has ‘blood on her hands’.

The star has faced a slew of tragedies over the past six years, including the deaths of five dogs, a horse and even her chameleon, Marvin.

PETA Vice President of Programmes Elisa Allen told MailOnline: ‘After a seventh animal died in her custody, Katie Price should be facing more than the court of public opinion – she should face a court of law and be banned for life from keeping animals.

‘PETA urges authorities to look into Blade’s death and reminds the public that it’s not just Price who has blood on her hands.

‘Greedy breeders who keep selling or ‘gifting’ animals to her are also to blame, as they know full well what the likely outcome will be.’

Katie announced Blade’s death on Instagram, writing: ‘Words can’t express the lost of my best friend my protector my absolutely everything who had sadly pᴀssed away today.

‘I have no words to say how I’m feeling but numb and shocked rip Blade.’

Blade’s death came just seven months after another of Katie’s dogs, Sharon, was killed on the same road.

Sharon was killed when she allegedly escaped and ran on to the road where she was hit by a car. She was picked up off the A24 by the driver and taken to Arun Vets in Pulborough, West SusSєx, where her death was confirmed.

In 2020, Katie’s pet dog Rolo 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.

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’.

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.

One of Katie’s horses was tragically hit by a car and killed in 2017 after escaping from a field.

And in 2018 her dog Queenie was struck and killed by a delivery driver.

UNAMED HORSE (2017)

One of Katie’s horses was tragically struck and killed by a car on the A24 in November 2017, after escaping from its field.

She shared a pH๏τo of the car with its smashed up windscreen to her Instagram, writing: ‘Last night our friends horses including one of ours escaped from their field and ran onto the road we are devastated.

‘We are extremely upset to find out one of our horses was killed last night being hit by a car… 

‘Thank god the driver of this car was very lucky and escaped and wish him well, police were amazing and so was the local community and thank them all!

‘Our friends other 4 horses thank god are alive with a couple of them injured and are still being treated by the vet and will be ok!’

DOBBY AND HAGRID (2017)

Katie owned two Sphynx cats named Dobby and Hagrid after the characters from Harry Potter.

However, in December 2017 she said she was selling them for £1,300 each because her dogs didn’t get on with them.

Yet, she continued to post pH๏τos of the cats on Instagram until 2021, so it is unclear whether she sold them.

QUEENIE (2018)

Katie was left ‘devastated’ after her German Shepherd, Queenie, was killed in a hit and run accident.

The dog was gifted to her on her 36th birthday by her now ex-husband Kieran Hayler.

In a since deleted Instagram post, Katie said Queenie was hit by a ‘heartless’ delivery driver who left the dog to die.

She wrote: ‘I’m absolutely devastated heartbroken my faithful loving family dogs life Queenie has been shortlived as she was killed by a heartless delivery driver who ran into our dog seeing her struggle and drove off without telling and left her to die.

‘Very disappointed a human being can be this heartless! Security cameras show this and we have reported to police! DEVASTATED is a understatement.’

MARVIN (2018)

Katie has owned a string of different animals, and even had a pet chameleon named Marvin.

However, Marvin died in November 2018 with Katie allegedly claiming the lizard died ‘of a broken heart’ after her son Junior moved in with his dad Peter Andre.

A source close to the star told The Sun: ‘Marvin didn’t go with Junior when he moved in with his dad over the summer. And now Katie thinks that the reptile has died of a broken heart.’

But the insider added: ‘However, with all of her money troubles Katie has been unable to heat her mansion, and chameleons needs to be warm at all times.”;

They also revealed she had wanted to keep the children’s pets at her house, as she hoped it would mean the kids would visit her more. 

They said: ‘Katie is blaming Peter for Marvin’s death as she claims that he wouldn’t take Junior and Princess’ pets when they moved in with him.

‘But Katie didn’t want him to take them as she thought the children would visit her more if the pets stayed with her.

‘The whole family has been left devastated by Marvin’s death, but especially Junior – he is heartbroken.’

While a source close to Peter said: ‘He was never asked to look after it. It’s outrageous that she’s blaming him.’

PEGGY (2019)

Katie sparked backlash from fans in February 2019, after gifting her daughter Princess with a pet hedgehog.

Fans slammed Katie for bringing the spiky mammal, named Peggy, into her home with her dogs, saying Peggy would be ‘terrified’.

In October of that year, Katie then lost Peggy for two weeks in her ‘Mucky Mansion’.

In a YouTube tour of her home, she admitted the hedgehog had gone missing somewhere in the house.

A source later revealed that she had since found Peggy again, saying: ‘Peggy is back – Katie always knew she’d find her again.’

BEAR (2019)

Katie bought another Alsatian named Bear in November 2018 for £1,000, who is the half-sister of Sparkle.

However, she gave away the dog only six months later in April 2019 after he had three near death experiences in a matter of weeks.

Both Bear and Sparkle kept escaping from her house and were nearly run over several times.

In February 2019, Bear ran onto a busy dual carriageway but was luckily saved by a pᴀsserby who took him to a vet.

The following month, he escaped again and was rescued by a pᴀssing police officer near the A24.

Katie eventually rehomed Bear in April, with a source telling The Sun: ‘Bear kept getting out on the main road and Katie doesn’t want to risk him getting hurt or worse.

‘A breeder is going to have him neutered and find him a permanent loving home, and Katie will still have plenty of pets around to keep her company.’

SPARKLE (2020)

Katie’s third Alsatian, Sparkle, tragically pᴀssed away in a very similar way to her late German shepherd Queenie.

The dog allegedly escaped from the star’s home and was hit by a car on the A24, near her ‘Mucky Mansion’, the same road that Bear was nearly run over on.

Sharing the news on Instagram, Katie said: ‘Hey guys, really f***ed off this morning. I’ve just woken up to realise that one of my dogs has been killed on the road. 

‘I’ve just checked with the neighbours and everything seems to be how it was when they left the dogs so I don’t know how they escaped but yeah, one of my Alsatians has been hit and killed.

‘I was away last night with my PA and I left my neighbours to feed the dogs because that’s what they do when I’m not there.

She added: ‘Obviously something has happened in the night.’

ROLO (2020)

Katie’s pet dog Rolo suffocated at her home after apparently getting trapped in an electric armchair. 

Despite receiving CPR, the French bulldog – a gift for daughter Princess’s 13th birthday – could not be saved. 

Katie told YouTube followers: ‘There was nothing they could do, but they did say he wouldn’t have died in pain, it was quick.’ 

The dog had only been with the family for a few weeks before its tragic death leading to anger from the public towards Katie and the breeders who sold her the puppy.

The breeders took to their Instagram to defend themselves, saying they had done ‘everything we possibly could’ to ensure Rolo went to a good home, including background checks and a home visit. 

They wrote: ‘Rolo’s death was a tragic accident that had nothing at all to do with his health or @jrcbullies’.

Katie commented on the post, saying: ‘It’s nobody’s fault and something that happened tragically we are all devastated about so instead of pointing fingers think of how we are all feeling so respect us all.’

However, she later revealed she was illegally advised to give Rolo cannabis oil, after she was gifted the substance in a ‘puppy hamper’.

Rolo 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 a vet told her giving the puppy CBD oil may have encouraged him to seek out a cosy place to sleep, such as the chair.

A spokeswoman for Katie said: ‘Katie was told the oil was for dogs and safe. It was endorsed by the breeder. Katie will join forces with Peta and any other groups that need her to speak out.’

A source close to her added: ‘As awful as it sounds, this will bring some comfort to Katie in understanding why Rolo crawled into the space.

‘She feels let down too by a system that allows CBD oil to be marketed for pets despite it being illegal. Katie had backlash, hate mail, death threats and trolling over Rolo’s tragic pᴀssing. As a family, they continue to mourn.’

PRECIOUS (2021)

Katie gave the family’s French Bulldog to a builder working on her Channel 4 show Mucky Mansion little more than a year after getting her.

The dog was a gift from her on-off fiancé Carl Woods, to celebrate their six month anniversary.

‘She’s a French bulldog called Precious – [my daughter] Princess came up with the name,’ Katie told The Sun.

‘It’s my six-month anniversary present from Carl. We might not have a baby, but this is our new baby together.’

CAPTAIN, BUDDY, COLIN AND BATMAN (2022)

Katie currently has four Chihuahuas named Captain, Buddy, Colin and Batman.

However in January 2022, fans feared for Buddy after she took him horse riding, by stuffing him down her jacket.

That same year, she was left ‘devastated’ and ‘in bits’ after losing Captain while on holiday in Dorset with Carl.

A source told The Sun: ‘Katie was in bits. She thought Captain would be fine off his lead as they were staying on a friend’s private property which was very secure but he managed to run off’. 

They went on to tell the publication: ‘Katie was devastated thinking she has lost him for good, or that he might get run over.’

After eight hours of searching she then received a phone call to say Captain had been found after being taken to a local vet, where they were able to identify him via his microchip.

SHARON (2022) 

In November 2022, Katie’s beloved dog Sharon was killed when she allegedly escaped and ran onto the road where she was hit by a car.

The Pomeranian was picked up off the A24 by the driver of the vehicle and taken to to Arun Vets in Pulborough, West SusSєx, where her death was confirmed. 

A source close to Katie told The Sun that the tragic even was ‘rotten luck’ and claimed that Katie was ‘in bits’.

BLADE (2023)

Last June, Katie confirmed the death of her protection dog Blade, who was also struck by a car near her West SusSєx property.

Taking to Instagram. she wrote: ‘Words can’t express the lost of my best friend my protector my absolutely everything who had sadly pᴀssed away today. I have no words to say how I’m feeling but numb and shocked rip Blade.’ 

She revealed that the RSPCA had visited her house after Blade’s death, but then claimed that someone had deliberately killed him.

Katie said: ‘Update – RSPCA have been up to my house not having any concerns about my animals and never had.

‘We are trying to put together how Blade has been killed and his last steps as this is a deliberate target to kill him.’

TANK (2024)

Katie bought German Shepherd Tank in July of last year, a month after Blade’s death.

However, in August she was accused of hitting the puppy in a TikTok live as he sat on her clothes.

She could be heard yelling: ‘Get off! You’re sitting on my jumpers, my love jumpers that I love. Get off. Jesus Christ… Anyway, as I was saying…’

As Tank moved out of sH๏τ, Katie could be seen raising her hand to the animal, with users claiming they heard a ‘loud smack’. 

Then last month, she gave Tank away, reportedly because he no longer ‘looks cute on Instagram’.

The Sun reports that the mother-of-five got rid of the dog after ‘losing interest’ in him because she needed to ‘train’ him.
