There is a good non-wax dog that doesn’t die. There are sleeping puppies shown, but these are either genuine wax or killed off-screen prior to the movie’s events.

Towards the start when they enter the house, holes in the wax can be seen. Periodically, when the wax is focused on, there are small holes.

People are saying ‘no’ but I say ‘Yes’ because the definition of gaslighting is manipulating, and Bo ( main antagonist) was manipulative and abusive towards Vincent (Second antagonist)

While no one is technically alive, we watch as the wax figures melt, seeing their decomposing bodies and bones as they melt. We also see Wade melt too, but him being alive or not at this point is uncertain.

Prepare yourself when Wade starts looking at animals in jars. Done with scissors, super quick, at 48 minutes in.
About 5 minutes later, a close-up of the now sutured tendon cut is shown.
During Paige's chase, she ends up on a grave and a knife is sliced up the back of her heel

this entire movie is very disturbing:
