The short answer is "Yes". Dogs do not get strep throat, but they may harbor Streptococcus pyogenes (also called Group A strep, what causes strep throat) from being around humans. They serve as a carrier of it for human infections. So, the dog should be treated when a family member has strep throat, especially if recurring infections occur in the human.

Can you get strep throat by kissing your dog?

No, you cannot get strep throat from kissing your dog. Strep throat is caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes, which is primarily transmitted between humans.

However, it's always good practice to maintain hygiene and avoid close contact with pets if you're feeling unwell.
