Yes. Horses and dogs used gas masks; however, the animals were often forgotten or had to use simple cloth bags over there noses. Of the few animals used in the war, they had much higher casualty rates partly because they rarely had gas masks. Sometimes 5,000 animals would go in, and only 200 or so would return. They even had special "goggle" to protect animals' eyes from gas, but animals rarely got to use them. Carrier pigeons used fell from the sky because there were never gas masks for them. Nevertheless, mules, hoses, dogs, and yes even sheep and goats had gas masks, but only if they were lucky.
