Not unless the dog had rabies or the bite was to a fatal spot, such as the neck.
Also be aware that a dog bite to a cat can cause an internal infection. The bite may not fester or abcess on the skin, but the infection could become systemic internally. I know this as my beloved cat died this morning after being diagnosed by a veterinarian that a healed bite punctured her lung and introduced bacteria. If your cat loses weight, is not as playful, and more lethargic following a dog bite--even weeks after the fact, there may be an internal infection that is deadly without early treatment.

Is a cat's bite poison?
No, a cat's bite is not poison. However, if you do receive a cat bite and the teeth have broken the skin, it is usually a good idea to visit your local doctor just to be on the safe side. Usually though, a healthy and fully vaccinated house cat is unlikely to be carrying anything dangerous to a human.

Are Cat dangerous?
Cats aren't dangerous per se but everything can be a little dangerous. Like a baby can throw toy down and parent trips on it and falls but baby not dangerous. Although cats do seem to try and trip me coming in doors but I learned do what they want. They still have instincts so if sweet cat gets tail pulled by little kid cat might hiss or turn to bite but it's instinct. Cats are as dangerous as the perception of danger the person has. I don't find mine dangerous but I think anything could be dangerous it's all perception. Philosophy lesson over!!
