According to the IRS, "Although you cannot deduct the value of your time or services, you can deduct the expenses you incur while donating your services to a qualified organization." So, the vet might be able to deduct their expenses while performing donated services (like supplies or staff salary), but not the full discounted amount. It's probably safest just to write a letter verifying the services performed, the amount you paid, and the date.
