I have gone both to hospitals and other lab offices and was only asked one time to leave my dog. I let the person with me watch her, but then went home and complained about having to do so. After that, I have never had any further trouble. As it turned out, I found out the the particular employee was afraid of dogs, but this is no excuse. In a hospital setting, there is usually more than one person there who can draw blood. If the space is truly that small, I have seen our dogs get into some very small spaces and doing no damage in the process. You have every right to complain about this.

Even when I need to have x-rays, we are usually in an enclosed room and I put her where the technician’s screen will protect my dog from anything related to the x-ray. I very seldom will leave my dogs unless I am have any type of anesthesia. At that point, I feel they are better off left at home in case something unusual would occur during my surgery. That is just my personal preference, but I do know of people who have taken their dogs with them, even if they are having surgery. The person doing the driving took care of the dog until they were ready to leave.
