I'm not usually one to post links to other websites for information but I kind of feel as though this is a pretty important thing for anyone who feeds their pets commercial foods of any sort.
The following link has more information and some commentary about the program. Some good parts some bad parts: http://www.truthaboutpetfood.com/articles/fda-asks-for-public-comment.html
I'd encourage everyone to read about the initiative, and make comments to the FDA about it be they good comments or bad comments.
The FDA is planning to implement an initiative called "The Pet Event Tracking Network" that will allow FDA and State partners to exchange information about outbreaks of illness associated with pet food. Comments are welcome until September 27, 2010 on the proposed PETNet (Pet Event Tracking Network).
