No,you should be fine and no need for a rabies vaccine,
if there was no blood coming out from the dogs injury to you.
Also no worries from the food your husband had ,There will be no contamination.
Kissing you will not transmit any infection that you might have had from your dog.
Just wash the injury site and use antiseptic to clean the area and ass antibiotic cream on the wound.
