I'd probably keep an eye on it and take him in if it swells or gets redder, but otherwise treat it at home by keeping it clean and dry. I usually do that with scratches the dogs get while hiking, but take the dog to the vet if it's a puncture or deep cut, in a really active location (bottom of the foot, over a joint, etc.), or if there any signs of it being painful after the initial injury.
