NEW YORK (WABC) — Owning a pet in New York could soon mean more savings come tax season.<\/p>\n

The State Assembly is working on a bill that would create tax credits for money spent on pets.<\/p>\n

Owners would be able to get credit for up to two animals, including $150 for expenses such as food, grooming supplies, and leashes.<\/p>\n

There’s also a $300 credit for vet visits.<\/p>\n

The legislation is still in the works, but if passed, the credits would apply to expenses paid this year.<\/p>\n
