Yes, of course they can. Do animals have genitalia? Yes! Are they vastly different from ours? No. Do you think herpes was invented by humans?

Well, I know for a fact that horses get it...Equine Herpes (EHV-1)...it seems to be spread at race tracks and other places where there are many horses coming and going.

In the wild there is no way an Animals can catch herpes but if someone injects herpes into them they will get it and can spread it. But they will not show signs of carrying herpes.
