Hello. Is pet food donated to a (human) food bank deductible? If people are buying pet food, they arent using their money to buy (human) food for their family.

Yes, pet food donations are a charitable contribution. The amount that was paid for the pet food can be included with other charitable contributions as long as you have receipts for the purchase of the dog food,  and a form for the donation from the food bank.
