Hi, I appreciate your concern as Dog bites could lead to severe disease. Most probably there would have been no transmission or the dog may have not been infected, but to be 100% sure as there is no care for Rabies, I suggest that you take a full course of Anti-rabies Vaccine (ARV) and Tetanus shots which is free in any government facility if you are from India following the bite 72 hours or otherwise also. Also i suggest you to keep an eye on the dogs if they show any warning signs.
Also, take care while feeding street dogs because you can't be sure about their histories and you can't track them down to keep an eye on them. So better be careful i future. I hope I helped you with your question, Feel free to ask any further questions.

Reagrds,
