PAW Act of 2025
The PAW Act of 2025 allows taxpayers to treat certain veterinary expenses as medical care costs for federal tax purposes. It specifically covers full costs for service animals (as defined in federal regulations) and up to $1,000 annually for veterinary care plus $1,000 for pet health insurance for regular pets. These limits adjust annually for inflation based on the cost-of-living index. The bill applies to taxpayers, their spouses, or dependents who have qualifying service animals or pets, effective after the law's enactment.
