I've found that this occurs when the sims return from any lot not just restaurants. On leaving the home lot the dog was clean, on returning the dog is filthy. This only happens if all households sims have left the household lot but I have still to test with leaving toddlers and children on the home lot with the pet while the other household members travel away.
Hi @NZsimm3r and @Hi_its_Nobody
how long do you stay away ? I wasn't able to duplicate with the lot I tried but only stayed very briefly. Haven't tried a restaurant though.
Only one Sim at my lot though.
I'm usually gone for like 6 hours since my sim is running the restaurant but yeah.
I'll do some more testing and stay longer then. Won't have time before the weekend though
I have a Sim in the Detective Career. He has two dogs. If I join him, he comes home to at least one dirty dog. If I send him alone, the dogs are fine. He's gone the same amount of time. Both of his dogs are couch potatoes, so I can't see them getting into much while he's gone.
I have a Vet with five dogs. I try to never work more than 8-9 hours. When she come home all her dogs are dirty. I've tried having her bathe all the dogs before leaving for work (chore!), but she can still come home to 2 or 3 dirty dogs.
Taking a dog on an "Adventure" can result in an immediately dirty dog. Weird, but sort of understandable.
I keep thinking there must be a a time/trait trigger, but... it's not obvious to me.
Is anyone still seeing this issue ?

I'm not experiencing this anymore.
