  1. Photographs or video records to document the loss, dated if possible.

  2. Purchase records, veterinarian records, production records, bank or other loan documents.

    Written contracts, records assembled for tax purposes, private insurance documents and other similar reliable documents.

  1. Purchase records.

  2. Veterinarian records.

  3. Bank or other loan documents.

  4. Rendering truck receipts or certificates.
