Dear Kayla:
Dr. Patricia Redden published several articles on service dogs in the lab. Unfortunately, Pat passed earlier this year so the community lost such a great expertise. I found a few references
Service Dogs and Safety in Academic Laboratories
Service Dogs in the Chemistry Lab
There is also an article by Dr. Ken Roy published by NSTA:
Service Animals in the Science/STEM Laboratory

Hello,
I'm reaching out as I got contacted by a professor about a student bringing a service dog in an organic/biochemistry lab for nursing students. We had a request back in 2023 by my predecessor,
so we have the documentation for this request. This is raising concerns for me, the professor, and chemical stockroom personnel, and I plan to have a discussion with the student and TA and Chemical Stockroom Manager.
Does anyone have experience with service dogs in lab spaces?
Thank you,
