Chew Test Why Every Dog Should Have a Sumo Dog Toy
The medium Sumo toy is a very durable dog toy that can be used as a fetch toy for medium sized dogs or treat toy as needed. Note: This may be branded as Vibrant Life depending on your region.
Fun Factor
The Medium Sumo Dog Toy makes a good fetch toy and even greater chew toy. Because of its long shape it can tumble randomly like a football.
On top of the durability that makes it one of the best chew toys for dogs, the center treats cavity is also sized very well. Stick Milk Bones in it and it becomes a treat toy that would give Kong Chew Toys a run for its money.
Combining dog treats with this dog toy that was meant for aggressive chewers will keep your dogs occupied for long periods of time They will also get good mental stimulation from all that tasty activity.
You can also pack it with wet food or a combination of wet and dry food then freeze it. Your Sumo Dog Toy then becomes the perfect toy for teething dogs.
You can also take advantage of the extended play duration from freezing option and you take care of other things that needs your attention. All while your dog with a tasty, fun dog toy.
Quality & Durability
Made of a high-quality and super durable rubber, I would definitely put this in my indestructible dog toy list. It is a VERY tough dog toy and has the feel and weight of something that is meant for power chewers.
Although this Medium version saw less use compared to its larger counterpart in my dog toy collection, it still looks as good as new after months chewing by my Rottweiler.
Safety
This dog chew toy is very safe and will not fall apart on you any time soon. It is built to last, and I almost always leave this with my dog unattended.
Indoor Use: The chew toy does not have the same mass as big as the large, but it still presents a tripping hazard. Thankfully it is also red and can be easily spotted from a distance. It does have a considerable weight to it so playing indoor fetch with this requires attention. Take it from me that this CAN and WILL knock over objects in the house if you’re not careful, you’ve been warned!
Outdoor Use: The center cavity and outside ridges can trap dirt so keep an eye out and clean as necessary.
Sumo toys are dishwasher safe which might be an easier way to clean the center cavity.
Value
Being an indestructible dog toy on my list, this dog toy has incredible value for all dogs that love chewing. It withstood heavy use from my power chewer Rottweiler back when he was in his teething puppy stage.
In my opinion, the Medium Sumo Dog toy is one of the best dog toys available on the market today. The manufacturing process for both sizes are identical which is reassuring. The smaller size could mean that it has a limited lifespan for any dogs that outgrows it, but smaller dogs will be able to enjoy this tough dog toy for life!
Final Thoughts
During its abuse through heavy chewing, tugging, tossing, and roughing around, this dog chew toy held up remarkably well. Being able to stuff treats in them is like icing on a cake and its value triples with the freezing option.
Just use caution when tossing this thing indoors, there is a reason why I warn you again.
