CAN A SERVICE DOG GO INTO A SURGERY PRE OP ROOM AND POST OP WITH A PATIENT?

Generally, service dogs are allowed in many medical facilities, but their access to specific areas like surgery pre-op and post-op rooms varies by hospital policy and state regulations. Typically, these areas have strict infection control protocols, which may restrict animals. It's best to consult with the medical facility in advance to understand their policies regarding service dogs in these sensitive areas. Always prioritize the patient's health and safety when considering the presence of a service dog.
