As your dog is not vaccinated whether your dog bite you or scratch you or licks you, it's a warning sign that you should take the AntiRabies vaccine which will be given in any health care system..you have to take 3doses and 1 booster dose on 0,3,7,28 days...kindly note that 0 is considered as the first day you're infected and 28th day dose is considered as booster dose..
