Dogs and cats shouldn’t be allowed to lick wounds. Any minor dog or cat bite should be treated by the anti biotic your GP prescribes. I got a tiny tooth sized break in the skin on my hand after my lab reacted to a German shepherd who’d had a go at him. My hand got in the way, no bite on me intended, I saw the pharmacist, he advised to contact my GP. I got a phone call back within the hour, I asked for antibiotic cream. My GP explained any minor bite needs strong antibiotics. I was prescribed a week and given clear instructions on the need to keep it clean and phone if concerned
