Hii my pet dog licked my fingernails. I'm concerned about if saliva could enter into my nails or no. He's healthy vaccinated every year.

It will not cause much problems. Just wash your hands.

If you had no cuts or any sort of injury and if the pet dog was not rabid you will not get infected. The saliva can't enter through the intact nail.
