Filing our fur babies

The Issue

Our pets are considered part of our families. We have to pay for their healthcare, pet insurance, grooming, pet deposits and monthly rental payments for them, as well as some actually have clothes/accessories. Not to mention, food, cat and doggy daycare for families whom go on vacations,  we pay for pet training, transportation (e.g. airfare), and it is required by law for our fur babies to be registered. 

I believe with the amount of money invested into our pets (Cats & Dogs), time, energy and love that we should be able to claim our pets on our income taxes each year, with the proof of receipts for each animal (up to 2 animal per filing) as well as proof of current immunizations per pet upon filing. 

With great pleasure and high expectations for your consideration on this topic, I ask not just for me, but the entire world to seriously give this some consideration. Families all over love their pets and consider them as part of the family. Filing them on our taxes will help families financially to regain some of the expenses back that they spend each year and I believe it will also help the pet population of unwanted pets on the streets as well.
