Question

My dog has a small cut on her face from another dog. Both dogs are both fully vaccinated. Should I do anything to clean the cut? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 1 year and 4 months old | 83 lbs

Yes, you can clean the cut with warm water and antiseptic soap. Keep an eye on the cut for signs of infection, which include redness, swelling, warmth to the touch, and pus. Should you see any of those signs, I would take Kiera into the vet for antibiotics.
