Infections: Rabies and other significant infections should have been apparent 20 years out. Would not fret.

Typo?: Did you mean 30 days? If so, and your dog is fully vaccinated and showing no symptoms, no problem. If dog unvaccinated, call your MD for clearance or Rx. If you truly meant 30 years, and you have had medical examinations over all those years, and you have had no symptoms, and your dog was fully vaccinated and showed no symptoms, I think it's safe to say that you're OK.
