Unless your Hot Dogs/frankfurters are otherwise labelled, they are likely fully cooked. You should still heat them to at least 145 degrees F prior to eating. There was a foodborne incident in 1998 where people became ill due to listeria contamination of hot dogs and lunch meats during handling after cooking. If you are feeding hot dogs (or lunch meats) to the young, elderly or immunocompromised folks, USDA recommends that the meats be thoroughly heated prior to serving to destroy pathogens.
Because if you don't the raw meat with make you sick.
Actually the dogs eat meats such as raw beef, raw bear meat, raw rat meat, and raw beast meat
no. As long as its not spoiled, dogs can eat raw meat.
That would depend on what you meant by "raw hot dogs". If they are sausages in a jar (known to me as bockwurst sausages) then yes they are, if they are from a butchers or in a packet and if the sausages are squidey and obviously uncooked then no. :)

Would you eat raw meat? Probably not, therefore there is no need to feed any dog raw meat. It can contain bacterias and organisms that can be very harmful and even deadly to dogs. Even though not all raw meat is bad for humans, dogs have a very different immune system than humans and may succumb to the deadly effects of different germs.
Most recipes for hot dogs combine together pork, beef, chicken, or turkey meat, meat fat, a cereal filler, egg white, and herbs and seasonings. Kosher hot dogs are all beef.
Actually, yes, raw meat IS better for dogs than cooked meat. This is why many people choose to put their dogs on a raw meat diet. Wolves and dingos, relatives to the domesticated dogs we have today, exist exclusively on raw meat. Dogs are NOT people, and have enzymes in their saliva and intestinal tracts that we do not, enabling them to digest raw meat and kill the bacteria. The canine digestive system is not like a human's; a dog's stomach and intestines quickly break down the meat, organ and bone to the molecular level and absorb them, and the leftover parts are expelled as waste. Meat does not stay in the animal's intestines long enough to allow harmful bacteria to grow and harm it. Of course dogs are also prone to parasites, which is why for domestic dogs its important to buy raw meat from a trusted distributor that tests for such things. Cooking meat changes its chemical makeup which destroys much of the nutrients in the meat, and some dogs actually may develop allergies as a result of eating cooked meat, particularly if the meat is seasoned or has other additives such as cornmeal. Dermatological reactions are especially common in dogs who are sensitive to these additives.
