Julie told Edinburgh Live: “When my husband Kenny arrived home, on taking the dogs out of the car, both dachshunds were limp and frothing at the mouth.
“We called the vet and were told to take them to Edinburgh. Before we even got into the car Chickpea had died. Honey was given treatment at the vet but died around 4.30am on Sunday morning.
“The vet has said it was toxicity but can't pinpoint it."
The family’s two other dogs - Cashew and Georgie - had been playing in the water during the group walk and did not fall ill.
The devastated mum added: "The impact has been horrendous. Our 14-year-old daughter Lily witnessed everything. They were our family, they would not have hurt anyone.
"They did not deserve this and we are left absolutely heartbroken. My advice to other owners is to keep their dog on a lead in this area. There is something there that is poisonous and it killed our dogs."
