Hello,
Yes, I would recommend using Amoxicillin / Clavulanic acid for a dog bite like this. I would also recommend following up with your doctor to make sure you don't need any other management, such as surgery to remove any infected tissue or drain any abscesses.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
