Hi & Welcome.
There's no need to take anti rabies vaccine as long as your 'puppy' is properly vaccinated against rabies and the efficacy of the vaccine is confirmed
by laboratory evidence and the vaccination certificate is valid. Other wise you need to take two booster doses on day 0 and 3 following the bite.
You also need to take care of the wound and a single shot of tetanus toxoid if not immunized properly.
Hope this will help.
