4CYTE Canine Questions & Answers (page 2 of 5)

Started my Rottie girl Bella who is nearly 7 years old she has been on rimadyl 100mg since she was 8months old. Bella was on grand mobility which i found good and i am still in the process of switching, tritating the grand mobility down and increasing the 4cyte, i what i have noticed currently is that she is even more slower to get up and a lot more grumpy, barking at every little sound. I have the granules, does 4cyte also have the chandroitin sulfate like grand mobility? Also the directions on the packet are not that clear, Bella is 50kg and definitely needs to lose some weight, am i giving her the right amount on the loading dose 8 full scoops on the little white scoop or is it 8 granules before going to the maintenance dose? Probably a silly question but i want to much sure i get it right for my princess girl so she is not grumpy and irritable, she is usually a big softie.

I am about to start my elderly 8.3kg toy poodle on 4CYTE gel - and my vet has given me a sample to try before purchasing.... I understand he will only need 0.5 mg per day, and could you please advise how much the sample pack contains. Many thanks.

How many granules does a scoop hold. I have just received a 100g pack and assumed the scoop would come with it, but it didn’t, which I find to be a little silly really! My dog was on the liquid but the top of the bottle breaks with constant insertion of the syringe.

are there any side effects of this treatment

Do I have to give my labradoodle a loading dose of forte she is 27 kgs

Hi, my dog has very bad arthritis. He lives with my mom in Latin America so getting 4cyte for dogs has been super expensive. It seems to be working well, but I think he is on a maintenance dosage instead of the one recommended (like I said, is super expensive). He is a 12 year old husky, around 25kg. Im wondering if it would be better to get the equine 700gm to him as is the same price of getting him 3x50gm (price wise). If so, what would be the dosage?

What are the ingredients for 4cyte gel for horses and dogs and how do they differ? Thank you

I have read both the positive and negative reviews. I have 5 (large) German Shepherds of varying ages and I intend to selectively administer the 4Cyte to a few of them to address some apparent joint "issues" associated with aging as well as skeletal development. I will watch them carefully for any adverse reactions. With large breed dogs (100+ lbs) I am careful with their level of activity for the first years, until their bones & joints are fully developed. Has your testing involved the administering of this product to dogs less than a year old?

My dog has been on the 4Cyte granules but it was recommended that as he is a large golden ret/lab we use the equine granules instead. I dont know how many of the equine granules I should give him though - he weighs 41kg. Can someone please advise?

Hi Jane, I have had a number of dogs on 4cyte for years. I found it helped them stay mobile as they aged and I never had any problems.
At the moment I have 3 elderly dogs on it (16yrs,13 yrs and 12yrs), all rescues.
However my other 4 dogs (all over 10yrs) would also benefit from it, but it is quite expensive for so many dogs over the years. My question is if I can give them the 4cyte equine. I realise it’s a different flavour but I put it in their food so it should not be an issue. Are they the same size pearls as the canine ones and the same strength. It would work out more economic for so many dogs.
Thank you for your help

Now I am worried as my vet wants to give my old,small dog 4cyte epilatis gel. Can it potentially really kill my dog? I mean I understand he will die one day but do not want to hasten the process by giving him 4cyte for his arthritis.

Where are the guidelines? I do not agree with the makers of this product. 4CYTE KILLED my dog. I do NOT like the secret conversations they have with the vets. They will never be impartial. There is conflict of interests amongst them!

Hello, I have just purchased my first 4cyte for canine, for my 10 year old Labrador retriever who weighs 35 kgs. Two questions. First question am I correct that for the first 3 days I start off with 2 scoops per day? And second question, is it best to be given morning or evening? Thank you.

Are you aware of any allergic reactions from this product in dogs and how do they manifest?

Hi, my dog weighs 68 kgs. He has been taking 4cyte canine but the dosage is a lot. Is he able to take the horse 4cyte? What would the dose be for this?

My dog has started 4cyte granules, for the loading dose its .4 x 6 scoops which = 2.4 grams for her weight of 30 kgs, but it seems too much when i place about 6 -7 granules in the groove of the scoop, i dont have a digital scale to measure out .4 g to confirm the scoop size, can you tell me or confirm the scoop size please ? Thanks !

I am not sure my dog got the full length of time on loading dose before starting on the maintenance dose. As various family were feeding her. She has been on the maintenance dose for 6 months now. Is this OK?

Is 4cyte 100% natural ingredients? Are there any known side effects or has anyone had a negative reaction with this product?

My dog is diabetic, the vet have me this as an alternative to another product however it has a caution to not give to diabetic dogs? Should I cease

Wondering what are the ingredients in the Equine 4ctye product to make the raspberry flavour? is it sugar/saccharine?
