No need of taking another ARV shots as you and your pet dog already have vaccinated.

Since you already got antirabies vaccination for the stray dog bite you don't have to worry about your fully vaccinated pet dog accidental bite. Your recent vaccination will protect you. You can reconfirm it with your physician too
