They eat racoons But Racoons dont eat dogs....

Raccoons and dogs are natural enemies, but when a raccoon is kept as a pet, around a dog, they can be close friends for life, and enjoy romping and playing together, without quarrel.

Raccoons do not attack dogs unless provoked. Most dogs are entirely too big to be considered as food. It would have to be a very small breed or a very young puppy for a raccoon to take it as food.

Yes, it can happen. Raccoons can also carry rabies so if your dog has been bitten get him to the vet right away.

If a raccoon is chased and cornered by a dog it will fight to protect itself. A very small dog may be taken by a raccoon for food.
