How do you deal with constantly sick pets?

I know: take them to the vet.
But it's tedious. As soon as I switch to a household with a pet, it's sick.
And when I just want to play a bit but first I have to go through half an hour of loading screens and pet treatment...
Or is this just in my game? Even when I meet random pets in the worlds they are often sick.
Would it help to delete the vet clinic in brindleton bay?
What I started to do is that I cheat one of the Sims in the pet's household the max vet skill and place the 'Dr. Magi-Heals get better table' in the households inventory to spare us the hassle (and the poor pet's yeowling on their way to the vet...).
I know that some of you don't use cheats. Just in case for some who do:
Here is the cheat if you want to copy/paste and save some time:
stats.set_skill_level Major_Vet 10 (hit STRG/CTRL + SHIFT+C to open the cheat console)

I'll try to have a few of the treats in stock and try to remember to feed them before I switch household ^^'
I wonder how long it lasts, though, since I don't play for weeks/months with some of the households.
Strangely their plants stay in the state of how I left them, the pet's don't...
(My sims always cook for their pets. They barely eat the standard food from the bowl.)

It could really need some fine tuning, though. Playing on rotation it feels like bad game design. My (few) pet owners go to the vet to buy 50 red "get well" treats, and then back home they will fill a table or shelf with them for any household member to quickly use them when I arrive the lot.
That said, if you do nothing, the illness will (normally?) go away after a couple simdays. Not sure if giving the pet a lot of attention might help them cure sooner. Like comfort will help a human sim to get well.
take the pet to vet when i run out of those
only Delgatos have vet items in their house so far and i have not been playing them
I also haven't been to Brindleton Bay much though

I tried to place wellness treat fridges on other community lots than the vet some years ago, but they never worked, and iirc they needed to be tended by a played vet. Has this changed or is there a work around? I'd love being able to buy treats from a more local community lot, even if it is not a vet lot. I don't play any Vet btw.
It was a shop lot. Think I bought the treats from the vet and placed them in shop fridge.
Just tried it: it is possible to get the wellness treats from the buydebug menu.
So you don't need to go to a vet or a community lot.
It is even possible to put them into the vet fridge on your home lot.
I'm not sure how this works on a community lot since you cant pick up stuff there.
But maybe it works like for the food and there is an option to 'put away' if you place them from the buydebug.
