When I go on business trips I have to board my dog. Can I claim this as a job related expense?

No,boarding your dog is a personal expense, which is not deductible.

How is it a personal expense? I have to pay a company to take care of my dog while I am away on business. This company will claim this as an income.

The only pet expenses which are deductible are those for service animals.
