What can I give my dog for another dog bite. Vets are closed today. It's on her leg. Looks like tooth puncture.

You could bathe the are with dilute chlorhexidine or salted water but dog bites have the potentially to become severely infected very quickly and you should seek a full assessment by your nearest vet or emergency clinic as soon as possible to explore the wound and prescribe antibiotics as appropriate

Most importantly disinfect it locally with some betadine and then apply an antiseptic cream on it. It's not likely to be enough though, you will need to take her to the vet tomorrow as she will need to take a course of antibiotics.
