Only if your dog is anyway involved in the business -- you run a pet show business, etc.
Otherwise, no, you cannot deduct pet boarding fees from your business in the same way that you cannot deduct child care incurred while you are working on your business

Having a pet is not expected for your business (what the IRS calls "ordinary"). Nor is it helpful for your business (what the IRS calls "necessary"). So you are not allowed a deduction for the costs of boarding your pet while you are travelling for business.
Another answer equates pet care with child care. The IRS does allow a child care credit if you have child care costs while you are working. But not so for pets.

Typically not. The only instance I am aware of where you can deduct expenses for a pet is when incur additional expenses to move them with you when you relocate for your job.

Yes, if it is ordinary and necessary.
"To be deductible, a business expense must be both ordinary and necessary. An ordinary expense is one that is common and accepted in your field of business. A necessary expense is one that is helpful and appropriate for your business. An expense does not have to be indispensable to be considered necessary."
