Dog bite And Rabies
Hi! Just needed a quick opinion. On June 24th, I was playing with a pet dog (very healthy and calm), and I accidentally got a small cut on my finger from a metal stand. The dog licked that wound, but he didn’t bite or scratch me. I saw the dog again on July 2nd — he was completely fine and active on the 8th day. Should I be concerned about anything like rabies, or am I safe? Just asking for peace of mind.

If the dog is fully vaccinated indoor pet then no need to worry about anything. Observe the dog for a couple more days since the standard observation period for any dog suspecting rabies infection is 10 days.
