Lisa Vanderpump Is Devastated By The Loss Of Beloved Dog

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star, Lisa Vanderpump has just lost her beloved pet.

She shared the sad news on her Instagram account on Saturday.

Lisa wrote on her post: “We are devastated to say that our beloved Giggy has passed away this morning. He was truly loved, and we know how many of you loved him too. Our sweet Gigolo was such an incredible, unique dog, but mainly, because of him, we started The Vanderpump Dog Foundation and embarked on our mission to save as many dogs as possible.”

She told her fans how the dog inspired her rescue efforts. “He inspired us to start our work in rescue, and for that we will always be grateful. Giggy’s legacy will live on, through every dog @vanderpumpdogs saves. Thank you all for your support. Rest In Peace Giggy, we love you. - Ken & Lisa.”

Other celebrities shared in her feelings of grief. For Andy Cohen, Giggy was the First Dog of Bravo while, to Katie Maloney-Schwartz, Giggy, was and will always be iconic!

In 2016, Vanderpump and her husband co-founded The Vanderpump Dog Foundation to help create a better world for dogs. The couple opened up the Vanderpump Dogs rescue center in Los Angeles the following year in May, which helps rescue abandoned dogs in addition to providing them with medical treatment.

Back in 2017, she told E!: “Ken and I have been fighting for the kind of more humane treatment of dogs world-wide. One of the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle was really to open a rescue center but we wanted to open a rescue center that wasn't, like, depressing and I know it's like nothing else you've ever seen. With this space, we want it to have a...feel-good factor about it. All dogs are equal. It doesn't matter whether they're pedigree...so many of these dogs are just waiting for homes.”

The Real Risks: Weighing Vaccine Side Effects vs. Deadly Diseases

Some dog owners express concern about vaccine risks. Meanwhile, preventable diseases continue to pose a documented threat.

While severe physical injuries are less common, a single preventable incident is one too many. Cases like those in Louisiana, where dogs received ocular chemical burns from misused shampoo at a licensed facility, demonstrate that a groomer’s marketing claims are not a guarantee of safety.

The goal is not to create conflict, but to identify competence and build trust based on transparent practices. 1. “What is your exact step-by-step protocol for protecting my dog’s eyes during the bath?” The difference between a safe groom and a dangerous one lies in the specifics of execution.
