No, raccoons and domestic dogs could not produce offspring. Raccoons might be able to breed with the closely related coati, however.

They can try, but they won't make babies, they are a different species. Raccoons are more closely related to bears and maybe pandas, and less related to dogs.

It is unlikely as a raccoon will run or climb when threatened. But if cornered they can be vicious with their sharp teeth.

Yes, a raccoon will attack a small dog. If the dog is small enough, he probably would lose against the raccoon too. It is best to keep your dog indoors if you have a problem with raccoons.

The raccoon will attack no matter what the situation is. You can contact the critter guy to remove it from your property? They have services in Ontario.

Will a raccoon attack a small 5lb dog?

Raccoon typically do not hunt, prey or attack dogs. However, there have been cases reported throughout history. Realize most animals will attack if threatened so if a dog was scaring a raccoon, it would probably attack. But I doubt raccoons go out looking to attack dogs for the sake of it. Some raccoon get rabies which makes them crazy, they might attack a dog (or people for that matter).


Will a raccoon drown a small dog in swimming pool?

Yes, it is very possible. A raccoon can kill and eat a small dog very easily. There is a higher chance of the raccoon killing the dog if it is starving, and how aggressive the dog is. This is also very serious because if the raccoon has rabies and bights the dog intending to kill it, but doesn't, then the small dog will probably have to be put down or die anyway from diseases etc. So, basically, it's a good idea to keep your small dogs away from raccoons to be on the safe side.
