Suggest Treatment For Dogbite

Bitten by a House kept dog today with all shots up to date. I have two bite marks and have treated with peroxide and bactine. I'm sure I have had tetanus within the last five years or so and will confirm with my primary physician today. Hurt when it occurred but no pain now. I am 67 year old male in good health.Thanks, Tim
