4CYTE Canine Questions & Answers

There’s approximately 8 pellets to a scoop

The loading does is for 4 weeks the maintenance from there.

The key difference between the two products is that 4CYTE EPIITALIS Forte does not contain the marine actives that are present in the 4CYTE Canine granules. 4CYTE EPIITALIS Forte has EPIITALIS as it stands alone active ingredient and contains approximately double the volume of EPIITALIS per daily dose.

Sorry our girl was deaf before we started her on it. Yeast infections is common out boy gets them occasionally he’s a staffy that eats everything I doubt it’s caused by the 4cyte.

I have a 13.5 year old lab, 31kgs, riddled with arthritis but generally happy and still mobile. I tried 4cyte on my vets recommendation but 3 days into it black diarrhoea, drinking lots of water and dribbling. He has been on joint supplements since he was 4 months and joint medication since he was 7 with no side effects. 4cyte is the only change we have made so I won't be using this again. I stress enough about losing him I can't cope with seeing him sick like this.

We have had our Saint Bernard on 4cyte for about 4 years, when she broke her leg. She is now 7yera old, last April she started getting sick, after lots of tests the vet said her kidneys are failing and put her on medication. Now she has black diahorea. I seriously think its the 4cyte. So we will cease it for a month to see if that is the problem. I welcome replies.

We put our 11 year old retriever cross on 4Cyte as advised by the vet and it did not seem to make any difference to her mobility. She became really unwell, lost weight, constipated, not her usual happy self. We took her to the vet who did bloods and her pancreatic enzymes are very high. I can't help wondering if this was caused by 4Cyte. We stopped the 4Cyte a few weeks ago and she seems to be improving, eating well, no longer constipated.

That's terrible, and expensive. My dog Bella is an 11 year old staffy x golden border collie. She is still athletic but developing arthritis. I have been giving her the loading dose of 4cyte. On the sample I was given, she was happy to take it, but was avoiding the loading dose. Twice she ate grass afterwards. I forced her to take last night's dose, and then she tried to eat grass and wouldn't eat her dinner. I thought her tummy looked bloated. She was panting and slept outside as she was feeling sick. Today she has tummy pains and will only accept sips of water on her tongue. I have rung the after hours vet and will take her in tomorrow. They said that 4cyte is a natural product, no chance of kidney issues, but can cause stomach upset, so to stop it immediately.

We have not experienced anything like that with our 8 yr old blue heeler I would probably give her 1 more try if it happens again then stop using it. Best of luck if she can handle it I hope it makes as much difference to your baby as it has to ours

Thanks. :)

My dog didn't like it either (I have a Rottweiler) so I wrapped in up in chicken skin and she gulped it down. :)

We are using the liquid, it can just be shot straight into their mouth

For questions about Equine vs Canine 4Cyte...
published 1 year ago
Weve put our 8 year old Bull Mastiff X on 4Cyte at the vets recommendation - more as a preventative. Our dog gets stiff and sore after a big run. I researched whether you can use the Equine version for dogs (the Equine version is a bit cheaper) and you definitely can. I emailed Interpath (the company that makes 4Cyte) about whether it is safe to use Equine 4Cyte on dogs, and this was their response:

Yes you can 4CYTE Equine for dogs, the only differences are flavour (the Canine is chicken, the Equine is raspberry), and a slight difference in ratios. This means to achieve the right ratio feeding Equine you need to add one bead per canine scoop. So if you normally feed 4 canine scoops a day, you would increase the dose by 4 beads per day.

Hope this helps everyone!

For the person buying the horse version, the horse scoop is like a protein powder scoop, and the dog one is skinny and shallow.. my greyhound is 32kgs and I'm giving her a quarter of a horse scoop as the starting dose (8 dog scoops plus and extra bead per scoop) or, it's 6.4gms starting dose then 3.2gms maintainance. I hope this helps!

2ml of liquid for 30/40 kg dog .

Did you Find the Rose hip helpful? It didn’t work on my spoodle so just started her on 4 cute today

Hi Roberta - our Labrador has just done something similar- actually it’s a even larger amount she has just consumed. Can u tell me if there were any side effects that u noticed? Thanks Wendy

Lilly was totally fine, didn’t even get diarreia.

My friend looked after my 32kg greyhound and fed her 4 horse scoops one day and 2 the next (the starting dose is about a quarter of a horse scoop) she's had the runs for 3 days, but seems to be fine, she's getting better.. I'm glad your dogs were fine!!!

I didn’t notice this Stacey, I would call the company or your vet . It’s got a money back guarantee and they are really good with questions.
I hope you baby is feeling better soon

My vet only yesterday, suggested using both on our senior.

I have not experiences that problem with my dogs, so would suggest give a half dose for the first few weeks & contact 4CYTE to see if they can give you any further advice. Good Luck

Sorry Bill I have no idea but if you find out please let me know also. Months on now & my two old dogs are thriving well on 4Cyte, very happy arthritis pain free hounds :-)

I am not sure Bill but when i looked it up they only had it for dogs and horses cheers

Hi Bill, I bought my 4cyte for humans..called Osteo Restore from the company that makes the 4cyte for dogs. Just go to the interpath website [email protected]
