Dr. Polley is absolutely wonderful. Words can’t express how thankful I am for the experience he was able to provide for me and my family when my 15 year-old lab pity mix took a turn for the worst very suddenly. I received Dr. Polly’s card from my life long vet, Dr. Ratner in island Park. Upon calling Dr. Polley, he was immediately responsive and incredibly kind. I found myself not only inquiring about his services, but seeking veterinary advice and even conveying some personal and moral concerns. He was so patient and understanding, as well as professional. He insured me that any time I was ready, to call, and he would be available. What I initially thought would be at least a day or so, very quickly became that evening. Dr. Polley was at my home that evening with all of the gentle kindness and patience I could have asked for. He provided all of the necessary paperwork, had a very sweet set of options for our boys afterlife care, and was extremely reasonable financially. Working with Long Islands Legacy Pet Crematory, we had several options to choose from. We said goodbye to our boy while he lay calmly in his favorite spot on our patio, surrounded by family and friends. Dr Polley was so patient, accommodating and respectful. While saying goodbye to our boy was easily one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, I will be forever thankful he was able to go in such a beautiful way. I know our Brolie went calmly and peacefully surrounded by those who loved him most. Thank you Dr. Polley. My family and I are eternally grateful and we strongly recommend his services to anyone in need. ❤️

I can't thank Dr. Polley enough for the kindness and compassion shown during one of the hardest moments a pet owner can go through. Saying goodbye to Crystal was heartbreaking, but the care and gentleness from Dr. Polley made all the difference. He treated Crystal with dignity, love, and respect, and supported me every step of the way with patience and understanding It was clear that Dr. Polley truly cares - not just about animals, but about the people who love them. I will always be grateful for the comfort he provided in such a difficult time. Crystal was at peace and that is a gift I will never forget.

My dog 'Tucky' had a nice long life. His health declined rapidly. My family and I did not want our dog to suffer. We reached out to Dr Polley and where able to get the information we needed in order to do the right thing and get closure. Thank You for making a hard time a little easier. The Sullivan family.

Michael Fallon 2025.08.22

My wife and I are so grateful that we put our trust in Dr. Polley for his counsel at such a difficult decision-making time for our pet. Dr. Polley offered quality of life assessment that euthanasia was the most compassionate option for our Shepherd who was diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy. Seeing her struggle to get up and collapsing was sad to see knowing she was in pain. Thankfully, we contacted Gentle Goodbyes and Dr. Polley provided compassion and support to me and my wife during the decision-making process and our dogs final farewell was done peacefully in our home surrounded by loved ones.

Dana Levinson 2025.07.03

My 19 year old cat went into kidney failure and had a very rapid decline. We knew we wanted to euthanize at home where she was comfortable and felt safe. Dr. Polley was so responsive and able to schedule us promptly. His bedside manner was also excellent, kind and empathetic, and guided us every step of the way as far as what was going to happen and what to expect. We’re grateful we had someone like him to help see our pet off in her final moments.
