STEP #1 IS TO COMPLETE AND SUBMIT THE ONLINE APPLICATION THROUGH THE LBVM APPLICATION PORTAL. All supplemental documentation can be submitted through the portal AFTER the application is initially submitted. The LBVM cannot guarantee that documents submitted PRIOR to the submission of the online application can be accepted and/or tracked.

Lead CAET Designation – The CAET who has been authorized by the animal control facility of employment to hold the LBP-CDS and DEA drug registration to purchase Sodium Pentobarbital for the animal control facility MUST apply to the LA Board of Veterinary Medicine for “Lead” designation of his/her Louisiana CAET certificate. 

If you currently have an active Full CAET certification with the Board and wish to apply for “Lead” designation, please follow the steps below:

1. 1. Complete and submit the signed and notarized Lead CAET Application Form – Click here to Download the Lead Designation Application Form;
   2. Submit a copy of your current, active CDS drug license from the LA Board of Pharmacy indicating your Schedule II-N drug status;
   3. Submit a copy of the shelter’s current DEA drug registration with the current Lead CAET’s name whom you will be replacing.
   4. Submit proof of completion certificate for a Board-approved training course in chemical capture.
      At this time, the only Board-approved chemical capture training course is given by Louisiana Animal Control Association (LACA) during the end of July/first week of August, and the course given by Safe Capture International, Inc.
   5. Once you are notified by the LBVM that your Lead CAET designation has been approved, you will log into the LBVM License Portal and download your updated CAET Certification.
   6. Only after you are issued Lead CAET status will then contact the LA Board of Pharmacy (225-925-6496; info@pharmacy.la.gov) to have your status verified and your CDS drug license amended to include the Schedule II-N drugs AND Schedule III-N drugs, giving you access to pentobarbital, ketamine, and telazol.
   7. Only after you are issued Lead CAET status and have had your CDS license amended to include Schedule III-N drugs, will you then contact the DEA to request that the shelter’s DEA license change to include your name on the license and to include Schedule III-N drugs (if it does not already).
   8. Email a copy of both your updated CDS license and the updated shelter’s DEA license to the Board at admin@lsbvm.org.

All documentation above (i.e. – the applicant’s CDS drug license, the shelter’s current DEA registration, proof of completion of the Chemical Capture Course, and the updated CDS license and DEA registration once received by the applicant) should be emailed to the LBVM at admin@lsbvm.org.
