Hello and welcome to HCM,
A scratch by your pet dog which bled requires a tatanus toxoid.
If your pert dog is immunized against rabies in current year, anti-rabies vaccination is not required.
Washing with soap and water for 10-20 minutes is required.
Care of the wound is required to prevent infection.
Thanks and take care
