Is Anti Rabies Vaccination Necessary When Bitten By A Vaccinated Dog?
My dog has anti rabies vaccine...its done annually. last night the dog kinda snapped on my hand as i was trying to lift it..it just left a pinprick spot on my hand..so small that i need to press it in order for it to bleed...since my dog has anti rabies already,should i get vaccinated still?

Hi just observe the dog for next 10 days . If the dog doesn't die in next 10 days then no need for vaccination but if it does then you have to get vaccinated.
