It looks like charging extra security deposit won't help you much. Evidently, PA doesn't see a difference between security deposit and pet security deposit. It is just security deposit...and they limit it to nor more than two times the rent for year one and one times the rent in year two and beyond.

Your only options look to be to charge a one-time pet fee or monthly pet rent. We charge $25.00/month with a limit of two pets per home. Certain breeds are not allowed and any pets must be pre-approved.
