well, wether animals, such as dogs or cats, have better sight or not than humans depends entirely on the view you are speaking from. for example a human has rods and cones, receptor cells for intesity and then each colour, the rods are the intensity, and take up less space, and near the edge of our vision we have more rods than cones giving us acuter vision in the corner of our vision, but with less colour. (which is why things moving at teh edge of yoru sight catches your attention.
now, dogs and cats, have rods and cones covering only green and blue, not red like we do (birds see 4, red, green, blue and ultra violet, which may be where you heard of them seeing better) but, dogs and cats due to having one less variety of light receptor in thier eyes, have a highe concentration of rods, and thus over all they have sharper vision. just in less colours.
as i said, depends on which you value more, colour channels, or sharpness.
