FREEMAN Y POLES

Dogs, Wolves and Coyotes

Dr. Mark Johnson of Global Wildlife Resources introduced the Y pole to the animal welfare community in 2008. 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 only 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:

• Additional physical restraint
• Injecting vaccinations, antibiotics, or anesthesia
• Partial physical examinations and minor treatment of wounds
• Made with rust-resistant thicker aluminum for extra durability
