The species Canine usually have Rabies virus in their saliva after 4 to 5 monyhs of age unless they are separated from rabid/stray animals.so you dont worry about it,go for tetanus toxoid vaccine if the bite is deep.
Next Steps
keep an eye on the puppy at least for 10 days after the bite,if he shows symptoms of rabies then go for systemic treatment
