My shih tzu is absolutely miserable. Everyone keeps telling me that "it must be allergies" because of the sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes. Will the pricey tests at the vet's office be accurate?
I'm just not convinced that this is allergy. He has absolutely no skin itching, no hot spots, and no paw issues. He is extremely lethargic, has a runny nose, is extremely clingy to us, and can't seem to get comfortable no matter what.

The allergy tests for animals are a waste of time. Most animals have allergies due to poor diet. A change of diet to a rawdiet or to a really high quaility, grain free wet/canned or kibble will usually make allergies disappear. If you support the immune system properly, then your dog won't suffer from allergies.
I'm not sure if you have taken this dog to a vet, but those are also symptoms of an upper respiratory infection and could be severe… Please take your dog to the vet to make sure this is not an infection. Then if there is no cause other than allergies… switch your dogs food to a better type. It will save you money in the long run by limiting your vet visits.
