Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If you dog is not vaccinated with ARV, better take Rabipur shots on 0(Starting day), 3 and 7th day.
Observe your dog for signs of ferociousness or lethargy.
If your dog is normal after 10th day stop further shots.
Otherwise you should take 2 extra shots on 14th and 30th days.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
