So many dirty dogs!

I have a slightly different issue with dirty dogs - my own Sim's dogs often have stink clouds, without their fur looking dirty. I bathe them and the stink clouds go away, but they soon come back even without the dog doing anything that would make him dirty. I just cheat his needs and the stink cloud goes away, but I really don't understand why it's happening!

Are they sick, maybe?

The middle one with the pink bow looks very happy lol :)

oh wow! autumn is quite artistic! I'm going to need to find a place for her in my game for sure

I ended up plonking a bathtub down in the middle of the park and bathing all pets. I got sick of it, especially when all sims in the area have that pop up for a bad smell.

In my gameplay I noticed that dogs can get EXTREMELY dirty from things like digging, playing in the fish/seaweed piles near the dock, or sometimes just being outside(?)

I"m having the same problem, it's ridiculous. And it's not just dogs, some cats that turn up at my clinic are dirty too.
It's just sad. I really hope they tone this down, at least for owned pets.
At the clinic:

Even my neighbour's pupper is dirty:

I have the same problem! There are also a bunch of dig sites near my house in-game, so all my stray friends are practically made of dirt.

There are tons of dirty pets that you see! Even in the Vet Career, most of them are dirty when their owners bring them. I wish you could just bathe them in the Vet place lol!

I was playing just now and I had the option to bath a pet but I had no tub. I will play again in a little bit and place a tub and see what happens.

Edit to add pics. If you just greet the doggy normal and not as a vet and play with them or interact with them then you get an option to bathe them. One way to get some of them cleaner. I had to exit without saving cause I am actually doing a one person vet experiment. But atleast we know its possible to bathe them at the vet centre

I honestly hope they fix the dirty dog issue, for strays I can understand, I mean after all they are strays but pets who have owners should at the very least be taken care of.
