Dont worry,  take inj TETANUS TOXIDE,  state shot. You have to observe dog for 10 days for changing behavior,  like aggressiveness,  bite to another person without provoking,  hydrophobic  etc. If it not happend, nothing to worry about  , not require anti rabies injection. OBSERVATION IS MANDATORY OF DOG.

Hello, Take a TT(Tetanus toxoid) injection as soon as possible. As there is no blood or puncture wound, the tt injection will be sufficient.
