How are dogs visions?

Dogs have binocular vision over about 80 degrees of their visual field, which is enough for good quality binocular vision. This does vary some by breed, with collies probably having a smaller area of binocular vision than a golden retriever due to the placement of the eyes and length of the nose. Dogs have dichromatic vision, meaning they see in only two colors. Read more: Vision - How dogs see

How clearly do cow see?

It's hard to say. Cows have dichromatic vision (can only see in blues and yellows), but do not have binocular vision like predators such as humans and lions do, and cannot really judge distance as well. They can, however, see almost behind their heads because their eyes are on the side of their head (like all prey animals).


What colors do cats only see?

Cats have vision identical to a red-green colorblind human, they have no red cones meaning the colors red, yellow, and green are indistinguishable. They only have blue cones and green cones and thus can only see colors that can be distinguished via them. All mammals except primates (humans are primates) have this same limited dichromatic vision.
