It's the latest in a string of attacks there with six animals taking ill last year after consuming food laced with anti-freeze.
The 'Enough is Enough' event was hosted by the Comber Greenway Campaign.
A spokesperson for the group said, "We are holding a walk of solidarity, a walk to show those that are behind brutal dog poisonings that we are standing strong against such sickening acts".
