Could someone please tell me if it's possible for dogs to have hayfever???

I don't see why not. They can have allergies the same as us.

One of my sister's old dogs used to get watery eyes if he went near freshly cut grass...

ooops - posted before I had finished. Mason has had weepy eyes for the last couple of weeks, and is especially bad today - I have cut the lawn this afternoon. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to deal with it, besides bathing in luke warm water?

Try giving a piriton tablet.

Yes they can.
My brother-in-law has a yellow lab.
She always gets a really itchy stomach during the summer months,(very red and sore) watery eyes too.
Hay fever is what the vet has put it down too.

Thanks Laura

Good idea - but he is only 4.5 months old - do you think he would still be ok to have 1 whole tablet? I guess a toddler dose would be ok?

Maybe get the kids syrup stuff, see if that helps!
