A member asked:
My dog licked the same straw i used & i currently have herpes blister on my lip. is it possible for him to pass it to humans by kissing/licking human?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Canine Herpes: No, the dog herpes and the human herpes are species specific - they are in the same family and so are called the same thing but they are not cross species contagious. The big hazard for dogs is if they get herpes while pregnant the litter may be lost.
