In herbivores like horses and sheep, the appendix is called the "blind end" and apparently still does serve some function in digestion.
I believe that cats and dogs to have an appendix, but it is not vermiform (long and skinny) like the human appendix; thus it may be less likely to get infected.

Animals with intestinal tracts roughly similar to humans can get an infection in the concordant structure - the cecum. This is referred to as typhlitis and is a somewhat common problem in horses and cattle.
