Though the mouth was full of sharp and proportionately large teeth,‭ ‬wear patterns upon the teeth themselves indicate that they were being repeatedly used to process plant material,‭ ‬meaning that Suminia getmanovi was herbivorous.‭ ‬

Anomodontia is an extinct group of non-mammalian therapsids containing many species from the Permian and Triassic periods (possibly continuing into the Early Cretaceous) most of which were toothless herbivores.

Anomodonts were very diverse during the Middle Permian, including early forms like Anomocephalus and Patranomodon and groups like the Venyukovioidea, the Dromasauria, and the Dicynodontia. Of these only the dicynodonts survived beyond the Middle Permian.

Dicynodonts became the most successful and abundant of all herbivores in the Late Permian and Triassic, filling ecological niches ranging from large browsers down to small burrowers.
