It's been a lifesaver, and I'm so glad I made the switch. I've noticed a huge difference in my cat's overall health and energy levels since using this product.

My Not-So-Great Experience with Glytogen Suspension for Cats

summarizeEditor's Summary

As a cat parent to four furry friends, I'm always on the lookout for effective and easy-to-use deworming treatments. Unfortunately, my experience with Glytogen Suspension for Cats left me underwhelmed. I picked it up from the pet store, thinking it would be a straightforward solution, but it turned out to be a total letdown. The liquid suspension didn't impress me, and I'm sharing my honest review to help fellow pet owners make informed decisions. I'll break down the pros and cons, as well as provide some answers to frequently asked questions. To be honest, I was expecting a lot more from this product, especially considering its affordable price. But let me tell you, it's been a real disappointment. I've tried it on my cats, and the results were just meh. The product didn't seem to work as effectively as other deworming treatments I've used in the past, and the taste was unpleasant, to say the least. My cats didn't take to it well, and I had to force them to take it. Not exactly what I'm looking for in a deworming treatment.

I've got four furry friends at home, and let me tell you, they're like family to me. We've grown accustomed to each other, and I'm pretty sure they've grown to love us too. Don't get me wrong, we don't spoil them rotten, but we do make sure to give them the bare minimum in terms of care. They're not exactly housecats, though - they live their best lives, coming and going as they please. It's no secret that they're exposed to all sorts of germs and parasites when they're out and about, so I make it a point to give them regular deworming treatments every three months.
I just pick whatever medication the pet store recommends, as long as it's affordable. Recently, I bought a liquid suspension and some tablets to double down on the parasite-killing action. I decided to start with the suspension, and that's what today's review is all about.
Glytogen Suspension for Cats, ReviewProduct DetailsName: Glytogen Suspension - an anti-parasitic medication for catsBrand: ChistotelManufacturer: AO NPF "Ecoprom", RussiaVolume: 5mlPrice: 180 rublesWhere to buy: I picked it up at my local pet storePrescription requirements: none neededGlytogen Suspension belongs to the group of combined anti-parasitic medications.
The product comes in a cardboard box with all the essential information printed on it. The expiration date is three years from the date of manufacture, as long as the product is stored at a temperature between 0 and 25 degrees Celsius.
You can find more detailed information about the product in the included instructions.Glytogen Suspension is safe for cats as young as three months old. However, if you've got a tiny kitten, it's probably better to opt for a specialized deworming medication. If your cat is pregnant, you should avoid giving her Glytogen Suspension for two to three weeks before and after giving birth.
One thing that really impressed me about this product is the fact that it contains two active components: pyrantel pamoate - 50 mg and praziquantel - 10 mg
These two ingredients work together to target a wide range of internal parasites that affect cats.
Description
The combination of praziquantel and pyrantel pamoate in this product provides broad-spectrum antiparasitic action against roundworms and tapeworms that infect the gastrointestinal tract of dogs and cats, including Toxocara canis, Toxocara mystax (Toxocara cati), Toxascaris leonina, Uncinaria stenocephala, Trichuris vulpis, Ancylostoma caninum, Echinococcus granulosus, Alveococus multilocularis, Mesocestoides lineatus, Dipylidium caninum, Diphyllobotrium latum, and Multiceps multiceps.
The package comes with a vial of medicine and a syringe for administering it. There was also a sticker for the animal's passport, but since my cats are unregistered, they didn't need it.
The suspension is stored in a small dark glass vial, which is convenient for long-term storage. The vial contains 5 ml of medicine, which is enough for two doses if you have one cat.Under the screw-top lid, there's a pesky plug that I hate dealing with. Sometimes I manage to grab the plug with the screw thread from the lid, but not this time - I had to use scissors to dig it out.
Dosage and administration
When it comes to the dosage, you're supposed to give 1 milliliter per 2 kilograms of your cat's weight. I have four little furballs, and I figured one bottle would be enough, since they probably weigh no more than 10 kilograms in total.
To use this stuff, you need to give it to them orally, either mixed with a small amount of their regular food or squirted directly onto the back of their tongue using a dosing syringe. The recommended dose is 1 milliliter per 2 kilograms of body weight.
For treatment, you should only use this product when necessary. If your cat has a severe infestation, you might need to repeat the treatment in 10 to 14 days.
For prevention, you can give it to them once every three months in the therapeutic dose, or before each vaccination, 10 to 14 days in advance.
My Cats' ReactionI gave the gel-like substance to my cats as directed, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. The suspension has a murky yellow color and a strong, iodine-like smell.
Gel-like Substance for Cats, ReviewInitially, I thought my cats would be clueless to the whole thing, so I decided to mix the medication with their favorite liver sausage. They always devour that stuff, so I figured it would be a win-win. But, as it turns out, my cats are not as dumb as I thought. Well, one of them, at least, managed to sniff out the trick. He ate the sausage with the medication in it without batting an eye. I tried to give it to the other cats, but they weren't having it. Maybe it was the smell of the medicine that put them off. I had to force-feed it to them, a little at a time, just on the tip of their tongues. They were resistant, trying to spit it out, but I managed to get some of it into two of them. The older cat was the toughest to deal with. She wouldn't let me touch her, and she scratched me pretty good. After that, she refused to let me handle her. I ended up pouring the rest of the medicine into a bowl of dry food, and one of the cats ate it later.
As for the taste, I'm not really sure - but I guess it's tolerable, since one of the cats actually ate it. Maybe the others just didn't like being forced to take it. Effect and my impressions
It's hard to say if the medicine actually worked, since the cats are using the litter box and going outside too. I didn't see any worms or anything like that in the litter box. Their behavior is normal, and they haven't had any vomiting or changes in appetite.
I didn't see any side effects, but that's probably because my cats are pretty easy-going and not too spoiled.
I'm hoping that the medicine at least helped a little, even if it's just for preventative measures. But I'm still planning to give them tablets in a few weeks, and then I'll take a break from them until the spring sunshine comes back.
All in all, I wouldn't recommend buying this product again - it was a real hassle to use, and I ended up with scratched hands. I'm not even sure if it worked, since the cats managed to spit out some of the medicine. After the tablets, I'm thinking of trying those drops on the back of their necks - maybe they'll be easier to use. I'll have to read some reviews first, though.
Pros of the product:
didn't cause any side effects economical easy-to-use syringe affordable price Cons:
Not all cats take the suspension well with their foodSome animals react really aggressively to taking the medicationThe nozzle is quite uncomfortable
I wasn't a fan of the suspension, it's a real hassle to give to my cats, and the nozzle is a pain Although, to be fair, using the syringe to dose it is actually pretty convenient - you can get the exact amount for any weight of pet. If I only had one cat, my impression might have been more positive, but with multiple animals, taking this anti-parasite medication is a bit of a nightmare. I still think it's worth recommending, but I wouldn't give it a high rating.Thanks for reading my review.
Wishing you and your fur babies all the best.
