Wash your hands: Watch the area. If no puncture, or deep lesion then no harm. Always worthwhile to be sure tetanus immunization up to date.

Scratch: Make sure with dog's owner that ALL of the dog's shots are up to dat. If not, see your Physician. Make sure there is no puncture wound. If there is, see your Physician. Watch the are to make sure there are no signs of infection. If area reddens, weeps, develops pus, has bad odor, see your Physician. If you are not sure, see your Physician.
