"infected water" ? you mean just dirty water in general? they do get sick, just like humans, but like humans sometimes lucky and dirty water not necessarily contains illness causing bacteria or organisms, humans go around drinking ground water in primitive areas, but like in city definitely will probably get sick, and even in woods can get protozoan infections like amoebas
and are you kidding cats and dogs generally can get sick by same pathogenic organisms as humans, that is why they use animals like dogs and cats and even rats testing infectious diseases on them

It depends upon how infected it is. They do get sick.
If the water just has some low levels of bacteria then they won't all vomit or show outward illness. But if the water is really degraded and loaded with toxins the animal will become ill just as we would.

Who told you that?? Animals also fall sick or even die if they consume infected water.

They have a different kind of digestive system. Some animals can eat rotten foods and won't get sick. Just like some humans can't eat beans and some can.

They don't get as sick as we would, but they do get sick depending on what the water's infected with.

What makes you think they do not get sick? That is not true! They do get sick but some can overcome it.
