Properly priced. Same as in store.
The KONG Holiday Knots Belly Hippo is a blue plush hippo in a festive scarf and mittens, with a knotted rope ball inside the belly, a reinforced layer and a squeaker. It is part of the KONG Holiday range for 2026. It is in stock now at Pet Shop Near Me, ready to collect in our Enniscorthy or Wicklow shop or to go out with deliveries anywhere in Ireland.
The rope ball gives it weight, so it swings when a dog shakes it, and it is good for tug, wrestling, tossing and carrying about. It is about 28cm, sized for medium and large dogs.
The rope inside makes it tougher than a normal plush toy, but it is still a soft toy, not a chew toy for a strong chewer. Supervise play and take it away once the fabric tears, because swallowed rope or stuffing can cause a blockage.
KONG have been making dog toys since 1976 and they build them to be played with, not just looked at. It makes a good stocking filler or Christmas morning present, and it will keep your dog busy while the dinner is on.
Yes, it is in stock now in our Enniscorthy and Wicklow shops and online at petshopnearme.ie.
Yes, we deliver nationwide across Ireland, every county, straight from our shops.
It will last longer than a normal plush toy because of the rope inside, but it is not made for heavy chewing. For that, a rubber KONG Classic or KONG Extreme is the better buy.
We only got a small number of each KONG Holiday line in for 2026, so if the Knots Belly Hippo Blue is the one you want, get it now rather than in the middle of December.
Match the KONG size to your dog's jaw, not bodyweight. Pack guidance gives breed-weight indications — go up a size if your dog is a known destroyer.
Yes — there's a dedicated Puppy KONG line with softer rubber suitable for teething. Don't give a puppy an adult Classic KONG; the rubber is too firm for milk teeth.
Treats, peanut butter (xylitol-free), kibble, soaked food, frozen yoghurt. Freezing it overnight extends chew time substantially.
Black Extreme KONGs are denser rubber for serious chewers. If your Classic KONG is getting bitten through, step up to the Extreme.
Order before 2pm Monday to Friday and we dispatch the same day by DPD, next working day to most of Ireland.
Delivery is free over €49, a flat €6.95 under that.
