Hello
Thanks for the query
First whether your dog has been vaccinated "properly" or not. If your dog is vaccinated incompletely then ideally you should get vaccinated for rabies. Watch the dog for 10 days, if he is okay then no need of fourth dose of vaccine. ARS may be needed based on the severity of the bite.
I hope this answers your query effectively
With regards
