I talked to the originator of this and it has obvious non copyright status.
It sounds like a good forum for ferret PR.  He said people could be anywhere,

The way it will work is that you to send in video of the pet, & they then
would show the video as you would be on the phone talking to a pet
psychologist about the particular problem, such as not using the litter box,
etc.
