asked a question Can we deduct veterinary expenses for our own dogs as they need to be healthy in order to run our business?

I'm going through and trying to write off all I legally can. I've got the home office deduction, 25% of my water bill for extra laundry and lawn watering, 30% of treats/food/toys, 25% of phone/internet used for bookings and updates, 50% of gardening work, 50% of flea/tick/heartworm medication, 100% of pet cleaning products & poop bags, a one-time carpet/hardwood floor cleaning for pet stains from customers' dogs (50%) & 33% of our house cleaner costs since most time is spent on dog-related cleaning.

Does that sound legitimate? In addition, I'm wondering if it's legal to write off a percentage (say 33%) of veterinary costs in order to have healthy dogs when people leave their pups with us, no one wants their pet to stay with a sick dog.
