I have a dog which is 3-4 months old and it bit me. the dog is not vaccinated yet what should i do?

Dog bite: If the dog has been with you since purchase from the breeder and it doesn't roam outdoors it probably is low risk for rabies. You can call the local animal control to see if there have been any cases of rabies in your area.
