The time frame usually cited is ten days from exposure.
However, this is not something to procrastinate about; it's far better to get the treatment and not need it than to wait until symptoms develop, because in all of history, despite medical care, fewer than ten people have survived rabies once the symptoms become apparent. (In one study, the best currently known treatment had a survival rate of under ten percent, and brain damage is a distinct possibility even for those who do survive.)
In contrast, post-exposure prophylaxis (the usual "treatment" for cases where rabies exposure MAY have occurred) is 100% effective if begun immediately, but the effectiveness declines with the length of time since exposure.
