Do I think it's likely that at least certain other animals have a subjective conscious experience? Yes.
But until we understand why certain processing involves that subjective experience, and thus why other brain processing (as far as we know) does not (for a lot of our own brain processing seems to not involve it), we don't have strong evidence as to what other creatures have a subjective conscious experience and which do not. Though it seems likely, we don't definitely know there are other animals that have a subjective experience.
