Because it required traveling over 200 miles one way for skin testing, we opted for the blood 
testing to be done at our local vets.  I do understand the skin testing is more accurate.  But 
we got good results with Cherry and the allergy shots have certainly helped her.  She is still 
on the loading dose, so the final results will be evident once she reaches maintenance dose.
