Safe You need to get yourself treated only if the bite leads to some bleeding.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Since the dog bite or scratch, has occurred 6 to 7 months back, there is no point in worrying about it now. Because following a dog bite, if anti rabies injections are to be taken, that should be done with in first 3 to 4 days and complete course should be completed of 5 injections. Thinking about it now has no value. Thanks.
