Based on your history, since you’ve already received 4 doses of the rabies vaccine (ARV) four months ago and two booster shots recently, it seems your immunity should be well-established. A small scratch with minimal bleeding, especially from a dog you were feeding, usually does not require additional vaccination. However, it's always important to clean the wound immediately with soap and water for at least 15-20 minutes, which helps reduce the risk of infection. Since you’ve already taken proper precautions with the vaccines, additional doses are likely unnecessary at this stage. For peace of mind, you can consult with me or another healthcare provider if you have any further concerns.

After any booster injection for next 3 months any kind of exposure needs just cleaning. If your pet dog is vaccinated, it will reduce the chance to get Rabis infection to great extend
