Traditionally, immunotherapy has been customized for each pet using allergy test results as a starting point. However, test results may be affected by seasonality, patient preparation, technique, subjective scoring, and the choice of laboratory (for serum testing) or dermatologist (for intradermal testing). False positive and false negative reactions occur with both testing methods.
