Yes a raccoon claw will kill a cat or dog and will do so quickly. In addition Raccoons carry diseases uniquely lethal to dogs. Raccoons also carry a parasite that is lethal to humans. Basically its a cross between a plague rat and a killing machine. A raccoon can kill a human they have senses that are highly advanced and refined and they are also a vector for rabies.
