There are three dogs (and maybe more); none of them dies or suffers in any way.

No, but there's an aggressive dog. It doesn't physically harm anybody.

Truman's 'father' leaves him just to give entertainment to people.

Whenever Truman discovers evidence that there's something strange about his life, a character will swoop in and make him think it's perfectly normal and he's just delusional.

Truman and his wife have a physical fight. She lies to him, he gets aggressive, she wards him off with a knife, but he overpowers her and holds the knife to her throat before the fight is interrupted.

Tricky; it's implied that Truman is still continuously recorded, even when having sex and using the bathroom. The hypothetical conceiving of a child onscreen is discussed.

One might argue that Truman is subjected to psychological torture through deceit and gaslighting.

Amputation is mentioned, and there is a scene where a bunch of actors pretending to be surgeons have to pretend to amputate a leg when Truman is watching them, but no actual amputation is carried out.

There is a flashback scene where Truman's father appears to drown in a storm. Although the father is later revealed to be alive, the scene of his apparent death may still be traumatic for some viewers.

Truman looks at some old photos of his wedding and sees that his wife (or, rather, the woman playing his wife) crossed her fingers at their wedding, meaning that she didn't really mean any of her vows.

A woman is pulled into a car against her will. She is not physically harmed or imprisoned, but she is taken away when she doesn't want to go.

Doctors are seen about to perform surgery on a man, though the surgery is stopped before it can begin.

no one is actually mentally ill, but the main character is gaslighted into believing he’s losing his mind and schizophrenia is mentioned once

Truman’s (very legitimate) concerns are constantly explained by others as a form of paranoia. He is also manipulated into developing mental illnesses and phobias so he won’t ever leave the island. Finally, someone tries to explain the truth to Truman, but they are constantly interrupted by another character and told that they’re crazy.

A stage light falls from the sky, but Truman is told via radio that it was a plane losing parts mid-flight. No plane crash actually occurs or depicted outside of this.
