Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Ideally three injections are given, day 0(on the day of bite), day 3 and day 7. If the dog is pet and is fine even after 10 days further injections can be ommitted .
I hope i have resolved your query
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you happy and healthy life

Take Care
