The PETNet program will allow FDA and
its State partners to quickly and effectively exchange information
about outbreaks of illness in companion animals associated with pet
food. FDA has worked closely with its Federal and State partners to
develop the PETNet, and believes that it will serve an important
function in protecting the public and animal health. PETNet will be
a secure, internet-based network comprised of the FDA, other
Federal agencies, and State regulatory agencies/officials that have
authority over pet food. The Network will provide timely and
relevant information about pet food-related incidents to FDA, the
States, and other Federal Government agencies charged with
protecting animal and public health.
