The level of danger depends on the circumstances. A large dog's bite that severs an artery, such as the carotid artery in the neck, could be almost immediately fatal due to loss of blood. The main danger is infection, particularly in countries where rabies is carried by wild animals. In places like Australia where no wild animals have rabies, even when you get only a small bite, doctors usually check whether your tetanus shot is up to date.

Rabbit bites certainly have the potential to be very dangerous. This is the case if the animal is sick or you get an infection in the bite.
