As long as the dog or cat leaves the raccoon alone, then the raccoon shouldn't harm them. If the raccoon feels threatened, if it is cornered or it is injured and the cat or dog is being intimidating, then the raccoon may feel the need to defend itself which could cause harm to the other animal.

Also, if the raccoon is rabid, it may attack another animal which could prove very harmful to the cat or dog as unless rabies is treated promptly and properly, it is fatal.
