this is a really dumb question, but do you add your strength mod to bite and claw attacks

If you know its a dumb question, don't ask.

How could you possibly figure out the answer to your question without wasting our time?

It follows the same basic formula - full str mod on primary, 1/2 str mod for secondary weapons.:)

Note that some creatures with only a single natural attack get to add 1.5 str mod damage. You might want to reread the entry on natural weapons at the back of the MM.
