The PETNet program will allow FDA and participating members to quickly and effectively exchange information about outbreaks of illness in both companion animals and livestock. FDA has worked closely with its Federal and State partners to develop the PETNet reporting portal, and believes that information collected under this program will serve an important function in protecting the public and animal health. Respondents to the collection are state and federal government officials who voluntary participate in the program.
