See a doctor - now: Risk of rabies from a pet dog is very low - BUT. Dogs, like people, carry many bacteria in their mouths. Even if you were only “scratched” by the teeth, these bacteria could have been implanted under your skin and cause a really serious infection. See your doctor (or an Urgent Care Center) today.

WATCH FOR INFECTIONI: If area becomes swollen or infected with pus see your doctor for treatment. A scratch can become infected so keep watching it. Get your dog vaccinated so as to avoid future worries.
