Pet dog bites and scratches

2026-08-27 16:53:30
I have a 7 month old puppy he is a bit spoiled so when he is excited or just like that he bites like not exactly bites more like scratches from his teeth and he has quite big and sharp teeth so they do hurt and leave marks, he is vaccinated and he scratched me as a baby when he was unvaccinated so I got vaccination done of 4 dose with the titness shot the 4th shot was done on March 8th and he scratched me today too it's just a little mark on the skin, do I need to get vaccinated? He scratches quite often, he has done it quite a few times, his vet doc from my city said that you don't need another shot because the one you got covers a year but google says it covers only 4 months which are far over!

You already have a full anti-rabies course finished in March, so today's scratch does not need a fresh full course. Protection from a completed course lasts years, not 4 months - what Google is quoting is nonsense for your situation. If the skin is only reddened without bleeding, wash it under running water with soap for 15 minutes and leave it open. If a scratch ever bleeds or breaks skin, you need only 2 booster doses (day 0 and day 3), no immunoglobulin. Check that your tetanus shot is within 5 years. Ping me on a Practo consult with a photo of today's mark and I will tell you if a booster is needed.
