Meanwhile, Harry recently revealed Barney was rushed to the vets last year after eating Christmas cake.
The dog lover said Lulu had to undergo the procedure in case she also ate the cake, which was filled with raisins.
He told The Sun: “Barney’s a bit of a boy, so Barney’s ate the Christmas cake. So we take him to the vet, and they have to pump its stomach, because currants, that would kill them, they would die.
“It would have killed him. So poor Lulu, who hasn’t eaten any, they pumped her stomach just in case she’d ate some.”
