Under normal circumstances, if you are bitten by your own dog, it will be fine. You only need to wash the bitten area with soapy water for fifteen minutes, and then apply iodine for disinfection. Because rabies can only survive in the saliva and blood of animals and is transmitted through bites during the onset period, and your domestic pet dogs generally do not carry rabies virus, there is no need for rabies vaccination.
