You don't necessarily *have* to do allergy testing and shots, it's just one of the options. My suggestion would be to get her on some good effective meds like Atopica or Apoquel if they're year round allergies. If seasonal, then you can consider Temaril-P or steroids.

I honestly wouldn't bother w/ Benadryl - usually, it doesn't work well for most allergy dogs and secondly, it has to be given 4x a day to be effective. Other OTC meds you could try are the 1x a day ones like Zyrtec or Claritin...but again, those don't usually work well in true allergy dogs.
If you're considering the testing, most def go to a Vet Derm for it!
