    Problem is EXTREMELY hard to communicate with FCNMHP and its Veterinary.  I ordered Heartguardplus through *********** but needed a Vet endorsement. After a few phone calls back and forth between FCNMHP and ******* I finally got approval for a 1 year supply of Heartguard plus on 10 November 2021, of course expires November 2022.  RX no. ********, Vet name: *** **** ******* of FCNMHP.  I gave ***** his last chewable monthly prevention at the end of December 2022.  I  ordered refill on 4 January 2023.  ******* emailed me saying that FCNMHP has no records of continuous monthly heartworm prevention used for *****.    After talking with a FCNMHP representative on phone explaining my problem on 19 January 2023, she again repeated they have no proof of heartguard monthly use for *****.   Finally I made an appointment for next day at 9:00 for heartworm test.  When I got there with *****, I explained the whole situation and took the heartguard box (information above) and the office clerk said not in our system (FCNMHP computer system), she didn't care heartguard box with *****'s name and info on it, wouldn't take it to the Veterinarian for verification, nothing.  So I paid $41 for a new heartworm (even though I have an appointment on 9 March 2023 for ***** and Hachi).  Then I went home and ordered heartguard again.   Got rejected again due to ***** gained weight from last visit till now, 26 to 31 pounds (got my 1st and only text ever from FCNMHP stating this).  So I ordered again (5 times now) on 20 January.   Still no approval sent to *******.  With FCNMHP,  if there a problem like this , me the pet owner will never get by the office worker to explain the problem to the Vet and get exact answers instead of an office worker's not caring. *********** can't get a call through either, ******* say they get rejections sometimes through their portal but mostly no responses at all. CEO ******** ****** doesn't answer emails. Please help me. I'm just a pet LOVER.

    I brought in three cats to be neutered and spayed on Friday. They were supposed to be released back to me within 72 hours. Five days later they still have not been spayed or neutered and they are trapped in a cage where they cannot move around surrounded by other animals howling barking, meowing please viruses whatever you can imagine. This is inhumane to keep an animal trapped in the cage for five freaking days and their excuses. They had an overload of cats to be worked on well that is not the cats problem. The cats were brought to an appointment and dropped off. That is a staffing issue and a micromanagement time management situation that administration needs to handle by getting your veterinarians and veterinarian text, do what they supposed to do to get things done in the timely fashion five days in a cage to probably not even be fed appropriately. They’re probably just spray more in the cage and probably just dropping a handful of food inside the cage say the animals are being fed I don’t know, but the animals are still there, and I am not happy about this at all I will be contacting the veterinarian board of directors following the complaint against the organization For inhumane treatment of animals and no responsibility of doing jobs that are to be done in a timely fashion
