No. Incubation period for rabies is as short as 4 days and even longer than 6 years. This variation is probably related to the site of inoculation, the severity of the wound, and the amount of virus introduced. So after 10-12 days of exposure we can't confirm that that dog has no rabies
Next Steps
Vaccination of our pets and self vaccination against rabies following post bite schedule is always best
Health Tips
Go for post bite ARV vaccination schedule
