You need to carefully select who does your accounting. Feeding is a large business expense and is probably the largest deduction next to travel expense and the cost of new animals. Yes, you can claim animals too.

I've been a professional musician for many years. I know the items I can claim on my music income. Everything you use for operating costs is deductible.
