hi..if ur pet dog is healthy with no signs of any ill health, then there is no need to take anti-rabies vaccination. Take TT vaccination. however, if ur still suspicious, there is no harm in taking anti rabies vaccination once again. observe ur dog for few days for any signs of ill health. good luck.
