Raccoons are omnivorous, consuming a varied diet that includes berries, insects, fruit, chickens, and small mammals. They also have a strange unexplained behavioral trait. They wash their food in stream waters before consuming it. This act is popularly known as dousing.

It eats about 40% invertebrates, 33% plants, and 27% vertebrates. It eats insects, worms, fish, amphibians, and fruits.
Raccoons will often catch fish or eat small freshwater crayfish/clams, grubs, and worms. They often live around humans so they get into cat food, leftovers, and garbage cans if given a chance.
