Is this a bad enough wound to take to the vet?

This looks fairly small and superficial in your picture. If this was a bite wound you should see a vet since there would be a high risk for infection, otherwise you can probably monitor for a few days. If you notice redness swelling or discharge or if the wound is not healed in 7 days you should see a vet.
