Good luck with the testing.
My in-laws had it done with their GSD and it was great.
WHen they originally thought he had allergies, they tried switching him to a novel protein - duck.
Turns out, a year later when they had the allergy testing done, he's allergic to duck! (and a few other things).
Go figure.
Now, they've adjusted his diet to what they know he can have, and it's made a huge difference for him.
for Wednesday!
(p.s., I hear you about the carpet vs. hardwood. DH and I are building a new house and I refuse carpet! I can't afford to put hardwood throughout, so I'm choosing a good quality laminet instead. Cheaper, plus, it'll probably stand up a lot better to my 2 dogs over time)
