Hello, I own a Pet crematory and cemetery and us my dog as a comfort animal for my clients. Is their expense tax deductible?

Animals used in business may be deductible as a business expense.

You can deduct the cost of buying, training and maintaining a guide dog or service animal as a medical expense to assist a person with a visual impairment, hearing disability, or other physical disability. This includes food, grooming, vet care and premiums paid for a veterinary care policy. However, pet insurance and care are not deductible for non-guide dogs or service animals, as animals are not considered dependents.
