Not all dogs can cause rabies. It is only transmitted when rabid dogs bites. It is not a problem if a healthy dog licks you. It is extremely rare for rabies to be transmitted through ingestion of infected particles

Your dog is vaccinated or not ?
If you had taken 5 dose of arv then there is no need for vaccination but if your dog is not vaccinated then you can get one dose of arv ( precaution dose )
