Many pet dogs are seriously allergic to flea bites, grass pollen or tree pollen. An allergy is just a reaction from the immune system so its not just confined to humans.

Yes, animals do suffer from allergies and some takes meds and allergy shots, just like people do. They are actually some specialized vets that only deal with pets and their allergies.

Animals do suffer from allergies. Most tend to be seen in the form of itchy skin although cats do suffer from cat asthma, possibly linked to allergies in cats.
They can also have intolerances to various foods (usually seen as diarrhoea or vomiting) and rarely allergies also to food.
Some animals can also have extreme allergic reactions, otherwise known as anaphylactic shock to various things, most commonly stings, bites and some medications.

Unfortunately, because animals are being fed absolute JUNK today, they have no choice but to react with allergies, and various diseases. Ever since WHEAT became the dominant grain in dog foods (20 years ago China decided they had had enough of our wheat, and the surplus started to supplant CORN as the number 1 grain in dog food), the health of our pets have gone to hell. Or, check out Sodium Selenite at www.toxnet.com and find the seedy details about this carcinogen. Its what they put in pet food, along with dozens of allergy causing chemicals. Www.centrumistoxic.com is a good reference if you want to look up the chemical junk in your dog food.
Look into Sojo's dog food, and other "raw" and wheat free approaches to feeding your animal.

Animals do suffer from allergies. I don't know if they can experience post nasal drip but they can certainly be allergic to things that come in contact with their skin i.e. grass, talcs, repellents etc. all which can cause allergic reaction on the skin.
