Buy them insurance if it's too costly for you.
Or don't have a pet. You should be able to pay for their living expenses or you shouldn't own one.

Pets are property. The only pets that qualify as deductions of any kind on personal income taxes would be those that are medically necessary, such as seeing-eye dogs.

I think there should be some small credit if you get an animal through a pound or rescue organization.

Not in this decade.
Dems are in the midst of raising taxes and rescinding tax deductions.

What a great idea. You honestly should run for public office.
