Can a landlord charge a pet deposit fee if the pet has been on the premises for more than a month and nothing was ever said about a fee when I got it?

It sounds like the landlord wants to change the terms of the tenancy. They can do that, but they would have to follow the proper procedure. If this is a year lease, they have to wait until the year is up. If a month-to-month tenancy, they have to give a full month's notice.
Also, some states limit the amount of a security deposit to one month. A pet deposit is a security deposit, regardless of what someone calls it. If they have collected a one-month security deposit already, state law may prohibit collecting another deposit.

Can your landlord charge you a pet deposit for a medical dog?
Most states limit the amount of a security deposit, usually to one month's rent. It really doesn't matter if there is an animal or not. Some landlords will charge an additional 'pet deposit', but, call it what you want, it's a security deposit, and the amount is limited. I suppose it is possible for a service dog to do some damage, just like any other animal.
