[nagdu] Tax deductions for dog food cost

[Steven Johnson]

I believe this amount is 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.  See the
following link/s about tax deductions for the disabled.  (From the IRS)

You can deduct guide dog related expenses as a medical expense. However this
only comes into play if you itemize your deductions and if it exceeds a
specified percentage of your income. Unless you have receipts for
everything, you will be better off just taking the standard deduction.
