Well.............one of my horses does, or at least he seems to!
My horse gets it too! My husband can't understand a horse that is allergic to hay!
Because animals are natural inhabitants of the planet and we are not ?
^^^^^ Strange answer ^^^^^^^

We may not be the nicest things to live on planet Earth......but I do believe we are natural inhabitants.
Natural selection is being interfered with in the human species in the western world. Modern medicine keeps people alive who would naturaly have died as a result of their illness, allowing them to breed and produce children who may be prone to the same illnesses.

In the natural world, sick animals are more likely to die before they get a chance to breed, so the population is kept healthy by offspring being more likely to be born from healthy parents.

Similarly, in domesticated animals, we select the most healthy specimens to breed from. Sick animals are either euthanised, or not permitted to breed.

We are becoming the most unhealthy animal on the planet.
yes they do. My staffy x went to the vets not long ago with really itchy eyes. He had made them bleed because he was scratching them so much.
He has to have eye drops when he starts to scratch them.
I know how he feels because i also get hayfever.
