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.
