It's standard procedure to give anyone bitten by a dog a tetanus booster if he hasn't had a shot in the last ten years. As for a rabid dog, you'd know it by looking at it; these dogs just got overenthusiastic, not exactly a case for the vet.

Today I was bitten by a dog when I was mobbed by a pack of dogs a walker
lost control of on a country lane. Fortunately the very contrite dog owner
(as you can imagine, I'm not polite to people whose dogs bite me) had a
big first aid kit in his Range Rover. He cleaned the wound and put a large
plaster on it, and I popped into my doctor's surgery within the hour to
have the wound professionally cleaned (I don't trust a man with dogs to
have clean hands!), receive a tetanus shot, and pick up a prescription for
an antibiotic.

But this and other recent incidents (in one of which a favorite pink shirt
of which I have only five was nearly ruined by blood) raise the questions:

***Should a cyclist carry a first kit?

***What should be in it?

***For day rides?

***For extended tours?

Something you can improvise a torniquet - anything else and URA wuss.

Don't take Asprin and you might not bleed to death anyway.
