Insensitive

I have had this insurance for my dog for almost 15 years. My dog was euthanized on April 26, 2026 so I filed a claim. The claim was rejected because my vet did not put my dog's name on the invoice. I called customer service, and the representative was insensitive and unable to get me to someone who could help. Now I have to relive the experience of losing my dog by having to ask my vet for a new invoice. Why would I submit an invoice for euthanasia and cremation for a dog other than my own?
