Brief Answer:
Was there any blood ?

Detailed Answer:
HI XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

Dig bite / scratch are classified into 3 categories. If the dog has just scratched and there was no blood from the scratch then it comes under category 1.

For category 1 there is no need for any Rabies Vaccination.

So kindly let me know if there was any blood oozing from the scratch .

Regards.
