I bought it and few weeks later I had to use it. I was able to get a hold of an unstable dog and safely moved it to a safe location. No harm to the animal, no harm to me. Now I’m ordering a second one for as a gift to a friend. Product is good quality and very well made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding for adopters of feral cats.
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2017
Verified Purchase
We have adopted a number of feral cats over the years. Many of them came around and we can pet/pick up/etc, but some we can't even touch. When it comes time to take them to the vet, this pole is nothing short of miraculous. Previously, taking our cats to the vet would result in me being scratched to hell and exhausted. This thing makes short work of the experience.

When the cat is hunkering down (pissed and afraid, alas), you loop this around his neck and *gently* pull it tight to the point where he can't get his head out but you're not choking him. Then it's simply a matter of leverage. You can use this poll to make the cat go wherever you want to go. For instance, I'll push the poor fella into his carrier head first, release the noose, and pull the pole out and close the carrier behind it. There isn't enough room for him to get out. Works like a charm and saves us so much pain, frustration, and aggravation.

Just be careful not to pull the noose too tightly. It's absolutely possible to coke your animal with it, so you need to use a lot of caution. But used carefully and correctly, it's a life-saver. (Sometimes literally when it comes to taking a sick cat to the vet.)

In such a throw away society, it is wonderful to see durablility, functionality and and affordability. I will stay with this product bc it’s the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy and Reliable
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2016

I have been using the Ketch-All pole for many years. There's a reason it's an essential, standard piece of equipment for animal control professionals and animal rescue organizations the world over: It's the most reliable, easy-to-use animal control pole available. The swiveling head prevents the cable from kinking and makes capturing the animal easier. The pole's sturdy construction ensures it will remain in service for a long time. This was the first one I purchased through Amazon, and I was pleased with how quickly it arrived.

3.0 out of 5 stars Trapper's Opinion
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2018
Verified Purchase
Not what I expected.
1. There were several Q&A remarks stating that this was appropriate for large dogs. I don't think so. Theoretically, the loop is large enough for a large canine head. That assumes you have a cooperative large canine. My intended use is on unintentional catches while trapping (bobcat, wolf, etc). I don't think the loop is practical.
2. There is no handle on the pull cord. It's a simple, bare braided cable (i.e. no ball or stop on the end). Throw snow, rain, ice and gloves into the mix, this is not going to work. Do that while you've got something cornered--not pretty.
3. The instructions read, "Pull cable spring from hair guard #23." Unless you've ordered one this won't make any sense. But, by, "pulling," the cable spring the spring is damaged beyond repair. Moreover, as I figured out later, it did NOT need to be pulled from the, "hair guard." It was preassembled such that I could have skipped this (and other) step entirely.
4. All this said, it seems to be well manufactured. The pole itself, and the cable, appear strong enough to handle any animal you would try to secure by hand. I'm going to contact the company and request a replacement spring (I'll report how that goes). I'll also play around and see if I can enlarge the loop, and, put a handle on the pull cord--probably by simply using a hard, rubber ball with a washer and crimp. Suprised that the manufacturer hasn't done the latter. Can't believe they haven't heard this before.
