Most animals don’t, fur and bones will pass through them especially in predators since they tend to have shorter digestive tracts so the contents don’t stay in their stomachs for very long. Animals like vultures have very powerful jaws that can grind up bone and strong stomach acid to dissolve it that also kills pathogens to keep them from getting sick.
