Can i claim pet medical expenses

Animals and associated expenses are only tax deductible in two scenarios:

- If you’re the owner of a farm and you raise livestock as part of your business, or outdoor animals to guard your crops, you can write off some of the associated expenses.

- If you need a service animal to assist you due to a medical need, you can claim some of the expenses you incur in caring for that animal.
