Britney Spears’ puppy, London, did sustain a leg injury earlier this month, but official reports confirm the singer is not to blame. Media frenzy surrounding the pop icon often leads to exaggerated claims, but officials quickly clarified the details regarding her beloved pet.
Rumors began to surface on Friday that either Spears or one of her sons had broken the leg of the Yorkie puppy the singer bought last month for ,000, causing the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) to pay a visit to the pop star’s residence. Fans concerned about the britney spears yorkie story closely monitored updates from pet safety officials.
According to Madeline Bernstein, President of the L.A. branch of the SPCA, the dog was hurt but the minor injuries were the result of an accident. Reports concerning the britney spears dog incident confirmed that proper medical care was administered immediately.
“It was a very slight fracture,” Bernstein said. “The dog didn’t need a real cast or surgery. There was just a splint put on the dog.”
On Monday, the SPCA received a note from Spears’ veterinarian confirming that the pooch was treated. The organization also interviewed members of the singer’s staff to determine what had happened during routine household activities.
“As it turns out, Britney wasn’t there when the dog mishap occurred,” she says.
“The dog got under someone’s foot in the walk-in closet,” says Bernstein, who added that the accident didn’t involve the children. Pet owners keeping up with britney with dog updates were relieved to learn it was a simple home accident.
“It’s not that unusual for people to step on their dogs by accident or trip over them,” Bernstein tells Us. “Things like this can happen.”
She added: “It’s always a good opportunity when something like this happens just to remind people in general just to be careful, especially with these little Yorkies, Pomeranians, Chihuahua’s that tend to get under you.”
When caring for toy breeds like a Yorkie or a britney spears chihuahua, keeping small animals safe around foot traffic is essential:
- Watch walk-in spaces: Tiny puppies easily get hidden under clothes or shoes in closets.
- Be cautious during dog walking: Small dogs move fast and can get underfoot in busy homes.
- Seek swift vet care: Prompt veterinarian checks ensure minor fractures heal with simple splints.
