This brief article gives a snapshot of the relative costs of allergy shots vs OTC therapy or prescription meds to fight off allergies. Allergies targeted are not specific to animals, in this case cats, but rather addresses allergies as one large group. Bottom line: People with chronic allergies probably save money in the long run by immunotherapy while those suffering from intermittent seasonal allergies may fare better financially by taking meds. The most important message is that quality of life issues must be considered as important as money. Article is ok but does not help those seeking specific info on cat immunotherapy.
