Hi & Welcome.
If your pet dog's vaccination certificate is not valid then you need to take two booster doses of anti rabies vaccines on day 0 & 3 irrespective of the interval from previous complete vaccination.
Don't forget to vaccinate your pet dog against rabies annually and keep its vaccination certificate valid.
Hope this solves your problem.
