Chase cashback - vets fees?

Got some very expensive vet bills in the next couple of days, has anybody got cashback in this category? I'm just wondering it comes down as excluded 'Professional Services'.

    Car Garage could have the same merchant coding for parts and labour, and or same coding with the dealer (if attached to one) so I would expect  the cashback. Vets or Dentist would be different. Maybe someone tried at the Dentist? I do get my Avios on my Dentist bills…

    I have used Chase at our Vets Practice for well over a year now and have received cashback in the standard way with no issues.

    Paid over a grand this morning, currently got Pending against the entry in Rewards. When I went to check my balance at the referrals clinic (different vet) I found they must have a Faraday cage as I wasn't getting the remotest hint of a signal. They did offer their wifi network, but I declined and paid with an ordinary card as the amount in question at that point was low. They are going to claim directly with my insurance company for the bulk of it.
