Default my yorkie had whip worms

My little Rosie was diagnosed with whip worm about 3 months ago.It was part of her normal physical. I said to the vet, Her fur looks oily, The vet said it could be a parasite. After a stool check she said Rosie had whip worms. She was put on a medication ( I can not remember what it was called ) Rosie took all of the medication. The Vet said the other dogs should be tested at $25. per dog and if necessary put on meds. My question is, should I pay to have all 5 of them tested or just treat them all. They were all tested a few weeks before and tested neg. Rosie was with a the rescue group, the one I got her from, for two weeks, while I cared for Julie after Rosie attacked her in March. That is the only thing different I can think of, Why she tested positive.Once she was diagnosed I made sure I picked up All of the poop in the yard right away. Thanks Brenda
