If we go by google's definition..
con·scious·ness
ˈkänCHəsnəs/
noun
1.the state of being awake and aware of one's surroundings.
I think it's safe to say that animals have that, and you can test it with external stimuli. If I hold a treat in front of dog, it will wag its tail or have any other number of reactions indicating that it is indeed aware of its surroundings.
I hate to nitpick, but I think what you mean is you are not consciously aware of your surroundings.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
