Freeman Y Pole

Dr. Mark Johnson of Global Wildlife Resources introduced the Y pole to animal shelters and captive wolf facilities. It is an essential tool for difficult to manage dogs within a facility and also for wildlife professionals working with fractious canids such as wolves and coyotes. The Y pole is effective for restraining animals which are already cornered or captured, but not yet safe enough to handle. The Y pole is a humane tool to gently control an animal. It allows practitioners to perform simple hands-on procedures such as; Injecting vaccinations, antibiotics, or anesthesia; partial physical examinations and minor treatment of wounds. 

The Y pole is also an essential safety tool for assessments, fights, and attacks. It is an ideal tool for maintaining safe distance between handlers and animals. Humane Innovations strongly recommends this tool for all field and shelter staff!

Y pole features:

• Constructed from thick walled aluminum tube for extra durability.
• Neoprene easy grip handle which helps prevent slipping.
• Soft cushion at the Y end which causes less trauma to the animal.
• Excellent bite protection underneath the cushion at the Y end to prevent animals from breaking teeth and to prevent damage to the Y pole.
• Extendable from 31" to 50".
