I’m wondering if a dog I petsat could have potentially given me herpes. I have a confirmed herpes diagnosis as of today and I petsat the dog from April 13 to 22nd.

Humans, cats, dogs, horses and other species all have species specific Herpesviruses. You cannot catch that virus from another species.

We think that our new dog might have caninie heroes, but we are not sure yet. We are making an appointment for the dog, but we are scared if he does he has or will spread it to our other three dogs. With canine herpes and treatment will it go away for good or will he still carry it with him. Also how much will it cost to get him tested. His age and breed are unknown, but I could not continue without putting something.

Canine Herpes Virus is dangerous for puppies and causes little to no symptoms in adults; the symptoms you describe maybe due to general infection of the prepuce, allergies, bacterial skin infection etc… A dog may remain infectious for the rest of their life after recovery from symptoms. In addition to a consultation with a Veterinarian, the cost for a test for Canine Herpes Virus would be between $15 and $60 depending on the exact type of test and your location.
