See your doc: Even with minor bites, i'd check in with your doctor - they'll take a look, make sure there's nothing retained in the bite, clean it well, talk to you about signs and symptoms of infection and also, consider if you need prophylaxis antibiotics (to prevent infection) and make sure you are up to date on tdap vaccine.

Probable not: Is your dog up to date on his shots.
