Hello. Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Jigar(ID Specialist).
No you dont need to go for last dose.
In your case its already long time since dog bite. As the dog was vaccinated and still fine then there is no need of taking further vaccine shots.
If dog was not pet and its vaccination status was unknown then i would have told you for completion of course.
I hope this will help you. Please give your valuable feedback.
Regards.
Dr Jigar.
