Pets are missing from premade households

Pets including horses, are missing from every premade townie household that comes with pets when I start a new save.  For example, all the pets in Chestnut Ridge and Brindleton Bay.  They show in the Manage Household picture but when I enter the household through CAS or when I load into the household in live mode they are missing.  I have repaired the EA app and uninstalled/reinstalled the sims 4 but that has not resolved the issue.  I am not using mods. It does not seem to be happening in  saves created prior to the August update so I am guessing that the problem started after the update.
