If your dog is vaccinated properly and if you had already received the 4 doses of anti rabies vaccine last time(before 9 months), u neednt worry much.
If it is a deep wound or if blood/serum is oozing from it, Wash your wound with plenty of water and soap(for atleast 15mins), DO NOT CLOSE THE WOUND, visit a local clinic and get a tetanus shot(tt).
If you had not taken any vaccine last time, its better you take a course of anti-rabies vaccine just to be on the safer side.
