Surely, if Dr. Dodds had rigorously tested her allergy test on control and test populations, she would have published on it by now in peer-reviewed journals. I'm curious why she hasn't. If anyone is in contact with Dr. Dodds, please ask her why, and let us know what she says. I'm sure that is why it is not commonly recommended by vets. Until a study appears in a peer-reviewed journal, all we have is anecdotal stories and testimonials--not a solid basis for a vet's recommendation.

I'm guessing they would find out it doesn't work and when they did it would mean she couldn't make money off of it anymore. Thanks for looking I think it really says a lot that there are none on it.
