A DOG owner has been left terrified after receiving a threatening note from a neighbour complaining about her dogs barking.

Jessica Tuite said she was left "panicked" after she found the chilling letter threatening to kill the family pets, alongside pieces of chocolate, in her mailbox.

The worrying note read: "If the barking of your dogs does not stop, the chocolate in this envelope will be thrown over your fence in greater amounts … which will kill them.

"You have been warned nicely many times by people … but you do nothing."

Pair Anthony and Jessica who live in the Brisbane suburb of Graceville own a black great Dane called Barney and a brown great Dane cross ridgeback named Donnie.

Jessica told 7NEWS she was full of "instant panic" after finding the letter.
