Should you be able to claim pets as dependents on your taxes?

    No, too many people would be tempted to acquire animals just for the deductions and the animals would not be well cared for.

    Pet owners visit doctor's office 20% less so being proactive about one's health should qualify. Maybe only apply deduction to personal owners not hoarders or ANY breeders. Service and rescued pets can provide an additional incentives.

    I think any service animal should be able to be deducyted every year and a rescue should be able to also.
