Dog Health Questions: What can I write off as a dog trainer?

I'm a dog trainer in Canada, I was curious if I can write off my dog's food and dog treats? How about any supplies for my dog such as dog bed, dog toys ect.

I do use my dog as a demo dog and for behavioural sessions at least 50% of the time.
Also can I write off dog training books?

Help With Dog Training

Recommended Answer:
You can deduct ("write off") expenses associated with your business.

Did you get the dog solely for the business, or was it a pet beforehand? If it was a pet, then you can't deduct expenses you would normally have for your pet. If you have any additional expenses, you can deduct them.

If I was doing your return, I would let you deduct dog training books. However, be prepared to justify this if CRA asks. Remember, people with pets buy dog training books too.

Basic Dog Training - Timing And Body Language

• Hi. I see that you need a guide to help you train your dog to become obedient and more healthy. Recently, I needed the same advise as you. One of my friends recommended the dog training academy course and it really helped me in training my dog in just a few weeks. You may want to try it too.
  
  Good luck.
  
  God bless.
