She shared a picture of the dog gnawing on a new toy, with Louise writing: "Banksy Blu having a chew."

But several followers objected, with one writing: "Just no, you should never EVER give a puppy raw hide. For the love of god take it off him, give him something else."

Another insisted: "Be super careful with rawhide babe especially with bull breeds, they can be so dangerous."

A third wrote: "Gorgeous but I wouldn’t recommend rawhide it is so bad as the stomach can not digest once swallowed 😱."

One other said simply: "Take that off him very dangerous x."

Rawhide - which is commonly made from the inner layer of cow or horse hides - can present a choking hazard to dogs.

If swallowed the leathery material can cause blockages and ruptures or get stuck in the digestive tract.

Louise later replied: "Hi guys thanks for all the advice on rawhide we took it off him pretty quick before it got soft and could get caught in his throat. Thanks for all the concern xxx."

Introducing the dog, she said: "Say hello to Banksy Blu… he’s definitely settled in 💙 what a beaut he is!"

He is a replacement for Bluebelle, one of two dogs former footballer Jamie, 48, and ex Louise shared with their sons Charley, 16, and Beau, 12.

She announced the sad news about her dog to fans in an emotional tribute.

Louise wrote: "I am absolutely heartbroken that we had to say goodbye to our little girl Blu early this morning.

"I am going to miss you so much my darling girl, your escaping through the fence, chasing the squirrels out of the garden, our long walks in the woods watching you run carefree.

"Going upstairs when we say 'bed time' and getting on mummy’s bed instead of in your own and most of all your kisses and cuddles every day.

"I wanted to share this with you because I know so many of you follow their Insta page and loved seeing what Blu and Rudi were up to and loved them as much as we did.

"We’ll miss you so much, sleep tight our gorgeous Bluebells," she continued. "Love you forever Mummy, Chaz and Beau Beaus Xxx."
