I would also like to know. We are volunteer puppy raisers for a guide dog organization, and expenses incurred are deductible. We are in the process of having our pet licensed as a therapy dog so I was wondering if some of the expenses were deductible. A therapy dog falls under a different category I believe. Thanks!
