According to the House Rabbit Society (link below), the fruit of dogwood trees/shrubs is slightly poisonous. Dogwood is not commonly (if ever) recommended for pet rabbits; however, wild rabbits have been known to eat dogwood bark and twigs.

Many people recommend the "better safe than sorry" route and avoid giving foods to their rabbits they aren't sure are safe. At least this way you know the rabbit won't poisoned.

If you decide to try dogwood out on your rabbit, follow the same procedure you would with any new food: start off with very small amounts, then observe for a few days, then very slightly increase the amount, observe again, etc.

Always ensure that fresh foods are clean and free from pesticides, herbicides, parasite eggs, etc.
