An Irish Wolfhound at 9 with severely compromised mobility — I want to ask honestly about where you are in the conversation with your vet before I say anything about supplements. A Wolfhound at this age with severe mobility issues is often at an advanced stage of joint disease or other systemic decline. How is he being managed currently?
He's on Librela monthly injections and meloxicam daily. The vet has been honest with us that we're in a quality-of-life management phase. He still has good days and we want to do everything we can to support those.

He's already on the best pharmaceutical pain management available, which tells me your vet has done right by him. A supplement won't change the trajectory at this stage — I'd be misleading you if I suggested otherwise. What it can do, alongside the Librela and meloxicam, is contribute to the structural cartilage support the pharmaceuticals don't address. 4Cyte Canine is safe to add alongside his current medications — one pump daily on food. It won't extend his life, but supporting every element of joint comfort on his good days matters. That's worth something.
