If you are playing in any other world but Brindleton Bay - I believe they will only get sick if you put one of the pee/woohoo bushes on the sim's property (I don't think it has to be the one that came with Cats and Dogs). Without the bush - there are no other animals or anything that would make them sick. They fake attack birds and squirrels in the bushes and then get sick sometimes from that - it is usually the same sickness over and over from a squirrel bite - rabies or something - I forget the name of the sickness. They will leave a bunch of those feathers too all around the bushes.
I really dislike that pets in other worlds are so different from pets in Brindleton Bay - the sicknesses and strays are way overdone in Brindleton Bay (which is why I don't really like my sims to live there even though I love the town itself) but do not exist at all in the other worlds.
As for pets always being sick when you visit other sims - yes, that always happens- why, I do not know. If I am playing around a lot of pets - I always keep wellness snacks in the sim's inventory and give them to the sick strays or the ones my sim visits and it cures them.
No PooHoo bush on my lot, and my cat just got sick -- I had to exit without saving though because I gave her the age-down treat thinking it would take her to the beginning of the current life stage and it ended up turning her into a kitten. :o My current family is in Newcrest but I just added a vet clinic to that world so I wonder if that might be the reason. (I had so much rain in Newcrest the first year I only got to the park there a couple of times, so I build an indoor play place (Magic Castle) on the 30x30 lot and put the Country Clinic on the 40x30 where the park was.)
