Overseas, the surveillance on companion animals have been reported by "NASPHV (National Association of State Public Health Veterinarians)", "CCWHC (Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre)", "ECDC-EFSA (European Center for Disease Prevention and Control - European Food Safety Authority)", "CSVID (Chilean Society of Veterinary Infectious Diseases)". According to pet boom in Japan, the disease surveillance of pets utilized IT (information technology) becomes available by spreading of "insurance-for-pets" and Electric Health Record in animal hospitals. We report challenges and results of new pet-surveillance by using of clinical data in animal hospitals. Clinical data of companion animals were analyzed by using cloud computing and electrical patient records without personal identifiers. Analyzed history, profile and clinical information of cases were rapidly feedback to veterinary surgeons in automated fashion from the system. The surveillance is designed with intention to answer some questions of the transmission routes of zoonotic diseases. Cloud computing combined with electrical patient records provided environment for easy daily operation with automated real-time feedback of data collation and limited descriptive analysis as additional advantage. Public and animal health epidemiologist may be able to provide further time trend, statistical, and geo-spatial analysis using with whole or subsets of this readily available database. Together the surveillance will improve understanding of pet animal health in the community and transmission of zoonosis in between human and animal.
