Since you’ve already received multiple doses of Anti-Rabies Vaccine (ARV) — 5 doses in March last year, 3 in December, and 1 in May this year — you are well-protected and have developed strong immunity. Now, if the bite didn’t break the skin (no visible wound or bleeding), and the dog is vaccinated and under your observation, then the risk of rabies is extremely low to almost nil. The burning sensation you’re feeling may be due to skin irritation, nerve sensitivity, or just anxiety after the incident.

You should get your Anti-rabies antibodies tested. Then you will be doubly sure that you are safe

Since the dog is vaccinated and you have received multiple ARV doses recently, the risk of rabies is extremely low. However, your symptom of a burning sensation—despite no visible wound—needs closer evaluation. It could be due to anxiety, neuropathic irritation, or a very superficial unnoticed scratch. A clinical opinion is necessary to rule out any concern and provide clarity.
Next Steps
I recommend you book a consultation with me on Practo for a detailed discussion. I can assess your exact exposure risk, past ARV history, and current symptoms to guide you with a personalized plan and help resolve your anxiety or symptoms accordingly.
