Expenses of maintainig an animal, including the purchase price, food, vet bills, and supplies, can be deducted when the animal is a service animal assisting the special needs of a person. Best example is a seeing-eye dog.
No expenses for personal pets are deductible.

No, your pet does not have a social security number that is needed for you to be able to claim the pet as a deduction in order to be able to deduct it`s medical expenses.

on condition which you itemize deductions are you able to deduct medical costs. Did you incorporate sales tax or state and native tax money (purely can use one)? that would desire to be the little better you will desire to bypass forward and itemize.

No, your pet needs to be human, a citizen of the USA and a family member (it's not no matter what you think of it).
