As much as I would love to have a deduction for the boat load of money I spend on my cats' health and welfare, I think the people here in the USA have much bigger fish to fry, if you will.
The bottom line is that if you cannot afford the upkeep and care of a pet, you should not have one/them. I know this year I have treated a couple of eye infections with one cat of mine, rather than take it to the vet, to save a little money. Since the eye condition was one I recognized and already had meds for, it wasn't an issue. We were lucky.
I cannot afford anymore than three cats. Plain and simple. The food alone is expensive.
I would love to see more funding for spaying and neutering.... although some people just never get it about that topic.
So, I think the idea of having tax deduction for pet care would go no where fast.
