The talk show sees White interview various celebrities who all bring their pets along, some typical domestic pets, and others rather unique like eagles and zebras. What to watch out for Betty White loves animals, making her a great part of the now-returning Pet Set / YouTube Over the years, Betty White became known as an animal fan herself and she spent her 99th birthday with them. Even though she's not currently hosting Pet Set still, she feeds a pair of ducks that come by her property each day. It fills in the gap from Pet Set, which ended when Carnation Company, its main sponsor, decided to focus the funds towards commercials instead of the show. In total, it originally aired from 1971 to 1972. While White goes bird-watching, anyone wanting to watch this anticipated re-release of Pet Set can do so starting on February 23. The streaming services of Apple TV, Google Play and Prime Video will play host to 39 half-hour episodes. Each episode follows a routine where a celebrity comes out and introduces their pet. The show would then focus on a certain species of animal. Then, an animal expert would go outside to show a very exotic animal, sometimes joined by white and the celebrity.
