Puppy bite
I have a golden retriever pup of 3 months old and his rabies vaccination is due this month. Accidentally, he bit me on my finger. It turned slightly red but no blood came put. I used detox soap to wash it. Do I have to take rabies vaccine

No need to take any vaccine..Rabies can be transmitted only by infected Dogs by bite .

No, there is no need for anti rabies vaccination as of now but since it's a golden retriever, this fur boy will definitely bite you, not intentionally but otherwise. And if there is bleeding, then you should get vaccinated. Nail scratches will not advocate for it.
