i think time would be different to an animal. we know that dogs years are 7 times faster than humans. So i doubt they see time the same way we do, but still have a sense of it.

Humans aside, all other animals are aware of routine and progression, based upon a variety of factors: night, day, wind, rain, heat, flood, hunger etc.
Time, as a concept, is a human generated and theoretical construct. If you doubt that, ask your pet to tell you the time in your terms.
Conceptually, humans can live without recourse to the use of clocks or any concept of time, much like all other animals; while humans were evolving over millennia, they functioned quite successfully in that way. Only the demands and benefits of structured societies brought about the ability and necessity to invent time.

I think they are aware, My dog knows exactly when his usually feeding time is. If we are late any day, he howls and sooks. I dont know if they are aware of exact times but once they get used to a certain time they are defenetly aware of it!

Cats, dogs, et al, are aware of the passing of time; they are aware of day and night and of seasons. So, yes, they are aware of time.

Yes, it depends on the species of animal to what degree. But not in the same way as humans. (At least humans that are on the human level of consciousness) Some souls which are in the human form may not yet be at the human level of consciousness.

If you are asking if they know when to do things and when things usually happen -- the answer is a big affirmative.
My dogs come and tell me when I have forgotten that it is time for them to 'be put to bed' so to say.
