Plot

The hungry Pink Panther wanders the streets, and while longing for a bite to eat, a little dog bites his tail and refuses to let go, so he has to check into a hospital, where the doctor treats him as just another ill patient. Unhappy to be in the hospital, the panther tries to escape by disguising himself as a nurse and the dog as a baby under a blanket, but the plan fails. Finally the doctor gives him some Formula K-9 Dog Remover medicine, which helps, and the dog lets loose of the tail.[1]

End of an era

Therapeutic Pink was the final Pink Panther theatrical short produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises. In the following two years, 32 made-for-television shorts would be released.[2] However, the made-for-TV shorts would also be released theatrically after (or in some cases, before) their TV airings, containing original opening credits and no laugh track.
