No. The appendix is the vestigial (now mostly useless) caecum found in humans. Dogs do not have an 'appendix', but they do have a small caecum (a coiled organ), which does not have a very important role (unlike the caecum in herbivores).

Yes they do. The appendix plays an important digestive role for vegetarian animals, as well as ominvores that consume a lot of plant matter. Unlike our appendix which is vestigial and is not used, the hamster does use its appendix.
