How Can A Dog Bite Be Treated?

Hi, Doc I was scratched by a cat 3 yrs ago and was given the complete anti rabies vaccine Just last April 11, 2018 i was bitten by ny own dog which is just superficial and whch draws no blood. I went to seek medical attention and got my first anti rabies shotand the anti tetanus. Do i have to undergo and have the complete 4 shots or just the 2 boosters this time? Thanks for your answer.
