I desperately ordered this product as my cat wasn’t eating. To my horror it arrived and it was over a week out of date!!! Surely this is the basics of quality control??

Over the last couple years my sweet, picky 17 yo cat Ricky had been gradually losing weight and getting “dull”… his eyes, his fur, he was just getting run down. The vet diagnosed him with CKD and hyperthyroid and we started meds. In the last couple months he really started to deteriorate, no energy, barely eating and lost a couple pounds he really couldn’t afford to lose. I was worried he was going to waste away, I was getting really sad and losing hope. The one thing he would enthusiastically eat was the “Churu Nourish” treat tubes I buy from my vet (different than regular churu, twice the calories). But those have so little nutrients in them, I knew he couldn’t last long on churu nourish alone. In desperation I searched for cat appetite formulas or cat nutrients, saw the great reviews on this one and ordered (along with a couple others) .
When they all arrived Ricky wouldn’t eat any of the nutrient formulas on his food, so I mixed this liquid with his churu in a little cup and used a food syringe to put the slurry back in the churu tube. He sucked it down just as enthusiastically as a regular churu treat. So for the next week and a half I made him 4 “churu bombs” a day- 6 ml of rebound liquid mixed with a churu, four times a day. He’s getting calories and some protein from the churu and his vitamins and minerals from the Rebound liquid. Added bonus, I could sneak his meds in his “churu bomb”, no more pilling.
After a few days of mostly churu bombs, he started eating his wet food, a little at first and then more and more until now, a couple weeks later, he is eating two cans of cat food daily and with gusto! I really credit this product for giving him the nutrition he needed to recover enough to want to eat again. And he’s put on a pound and a half in the last two weeks- Rebound liquid is very low cal, but it makes the calories that your cat is willing to eat have enough nutrition to keep them going and help them recover.
Now Ricky is acting more like his old self- strutting around the house, getting into mischief, demanding scritches. His fur is shinier and he has more energy and an appetite. Even though he’s eating more, I’m still giving him two to three “churu bombs” a day with 6ml of rebound each time, and he loves it. I just ordered another bottle and plan to continue it as his daily multivitamin.
I don’t know how long my sweet Ricky will be with us, he’s a very old man and his CKD is pretty advanced. But I absolutely think this product (along with the Churu Nourish tubes, Forza Renal cat food and some great vet care) is making the time he has left longer and more comfortable. Thank you for this product, quite literally a lifesaver!!

Perfect for ailing cats to boost appetite, also helps with digestion and with cats that struggle to move stool!

I forgot I had purchased this. I bought it because my elderly kitty was going downhill fast. She wasn’t eating enough, and I wanted to add something to her food that would possibly provide her more nutrition. It really helped her in terms of feeling more comfortable and satisfied, which made me feel better.
I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Short shelf life, though. There are a few products I like for this purpose, and this is one that is good. Not a lot of info here, so I looked up what I could find and added it here. Everything from ingredients, benefits of some ingredients, how to use it, how much, etc.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great product!
My cat had not eaten for three days, and I was very worried. I even took her to the vet clinic, but nothing helped. I found this product on the website, bought it, and she started eating again right away. I’m so happy and relieved. Thank you so much!

This solution is such an amazing product. One of my cats is quite old and has really bad IBS. Recently we had such a bad flare up and I couldn’t get him to eat anything or keep anything down. He has done well with this once before, unlike a lot of the other Recovery liquids available, so I figured I’d try it again. I can’t say it was specifically this that made him better because he has had a lot of medication from the vet recently to help him as well, but this stuff got him to eat and kept it down! He loves the smell and taste of it, and he is a very picky cat. He went from practically nothing to at least a little wet food with this mixed in. Now he is eating more than I have ever seen and finally gaining weight (it’s been a struggle to keep him from losing weight no matter how much or what kind of food I have available). He also has so much more energy than he has had for a very long time, which could be the medicine again, but I think it is mostly that he is getting enough calories finally. Now, it is quite expensive, and even when giving a full dose a day it goes bad before I can use it all, usually about 5 days in, and he will no longer touch it. My solution has been to put it into ice trays, one dose per ice cube, right when I open the bottle. I’ll be using this a little while longer until I’m sure he can keep food down, and then maybe in smaller portions for a while to keep his appetite up until (fingers crossed) he gets back to a healthy weight.

To help other people reading through the reviews: I’m in Canada and received this product through Amazon prime without issue. Purchased August 2025, expiry is December 2027. My cat has many of the same issues others have listed here, basically the death spiral where they won’t eat, won’t drink and in and out of the vet/emergency three times now with subQ fluids. She is on appetite stimulants and pain medication yet this is safe to take with both which is great. The vet recommended it and I’m so glad they did. This product worked for us and she drank/ate it without any issue. I just called it a treat and I guess it tastes good enough to her (she’s picky so this is saying a lot). This really helped my cat recover and get to a place where she can eat on her own. I’m not sure about using it long term but for a few days/ a week I’ve used it without issue.

I have never been happier with a product in my life!
I have a 10 year old scottish fold munchkin that I swear was knocking on Death’s door! She’s always been slim and small, she’s a munchkin! But I started to notice she was really boney and super lethargic. I went through something similar with her a couple years ago, went to the vet and had $500+ worth of blood and urine test done for everything to just come back normal. I switched her to wet food only and supplements, all seemed well up until about a month ago. She not only got really skinny this time but she also became very lethargic and started to refuse food. When she would eat, she would just throw it up. She wasn’t drinking any water and I have a water fountain that she’s always loved. She wasn’t using the litter box either. So i knew something was terribly wrong. Her nose was dry, her eyes were dry and crusty. I noticed she had no life behind her big blue eyes. She was all squinty and lifeless. She jus laid beside me hunched over.
I found this product and figured I’d give it a try. I was worried she wouldn’t eat it and I’d have to hand feed her, but she absolutely loved this stuff. She only weighed 3lbs, so I was giving her 1teaspoon/day to start, but near the end of the week, I was giving her 2teaspoons/day. She came back to life! She wanted all the treats. Food, water and snuggles. She was excited about feeding time again. Drinking water like crazy and using the litter box regularly again!
The bottle was nowhere near empty, and since they said it was only good for 7 days, I portioned out single teaspoons into an ice cube tray, froze it and put it in a ziplock for the future.
She’s now eating like a horse, drinking tonnes of water and using the litter box at least two times a day. She’s back to her normal self. She’s got meat on her bones again and actually got the zoomies for the first time I’m months.
This stuff saved her life.
Thank you!

I can’t recommend this recuperation broth enough! Rebound is being given to my recently sick 7-year-old white-and-tabby. He has had a bout of illness, not eating, diarrhea, and being poorly for a week. The emergency vet found nothing suspicious and said it was a stomach bug. Still we were faced with a cat who would not eat for more than a day, which is bad for cats (different than people). She gave him anti-nausea pills and an appetite stimulant, which helped for a day, but then he wouldn’t eat again. So we ordered this product to try to tempt him to eat again.
The ingredients are numerous. There are vitamins, minerals, probiotics, omega oils, and essential amino acids. It’s based on chicken broth, which is my cat’s favorite homemade treat. It smells good and is a bit viscous in texture, having some body when you pour it. You have to use it up in one week and keep it refrigerated. I wonder if you could safely freeze any extra.
I poured a half dose into the handy little measuring cup provided. Then poured a little blob into a 2-inch sushi dish. He just woke up right away, sniffed the air, and lapped it up. We were amazed! Gave a tad more a while later. From there we were able to progress to human baby food (chicken), and finally he was eating again normally. Over the week, we continued to give him a daily dose until the bottle was used up. It’s a relief to see him looking bright-eyed and bushy tailed again. I think I’d try Rebound to tempt any cat that looks bedraggled.
It’s a good value. Made in Belgium.

Helped my dearest Loki gain a bit of energy and therefor normality, in his final few weeks with me. Expensive, but worth every penny.
