&lt;p&gt;Personnelly I generally find the RCW diets tend to be more palatable, although the Allergenic dry does look a bit boring, think if you are worried about palatability then the RCW hypo would be your best option in my opinion, but don&amp;#39;t forget Hills definately do palatability guarantee and so does RCW I think? &amp;nbsp;so you could always return the bags for a refund if he does not like:-) Don&amp;#39;t rule out RCW sensitivity either this is super palatable and my dog who has severe ibd does really well on it and its the only diet I have &amp;nbsp;found so far &amp;nbsp;that doesnt give him Diarrhoea- lucky for me he&amp;#39;s a totally pig &amp;nbsp;and would eat cardboard if I put it in his bowl!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Opinions on diets for food trial.</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/159241?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 11 Apr 2015 01:15:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:b572d498-ed63-4045-8e42-1684487fdd99</guid><dc:creator>Steph Worsley</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve no real experience with anallergenic as we use RCW Hypoallergenic as the trial food and usually this is enough if you are thinking that he needs Anallergenic then neither HA or Z/D compare.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Out of Hypo/HA/ZD I personally feel that ZD is the least palatable, it&amp;#39;s been a number of years since I used HA in dogs but use Hypo all the time and don&amp;#39;t have many problems with palatability&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
