I have no idea why there are so many Yes votes. There isn't a dog in the entire movie. There is a guinnipig that is insinuated to die but you don't actually see anything. There is definitely no dog death.

Celia's guinea pig disappears, and Eva realizes it's in the garbage disposal after it's too late. It is not graphic, but the idea is disturbing.

A guinea pig is killed (offscreen) and a character explains the death to a young girl: ‘he is having a party in the garden now with new animal friends’

Not prominently, but there are. From what I remember there's a distinct scene where they cut to a piece of jelly covered bread covered in ants.

[Spoiler] The beginning of the movie operates on the premise that the mother feels like she is insane because her son is cruel to her and nobody else.

Eva throws Kevin against a wall when he is a child, breaking his arm. She regrets the act and attempts to show Kevin how much she loves him. Kevin is rough with his little sister, insulting her and attacking her with a vacuum cleaner.

the amount of alcohol shown in the movie and some dialogue could indicate the mother struggles with alcoholism.

Eva drinks a lot of wine following a traumatic event, and is implied by Kevin to have drank a lot before the event as well.

Kevin is cut when Eva throws him against a wall. We see him holding his arm and later see the healed scar.

well someone said under the eye injury section that it is implied someone ate a human part, and that it is a confirmed fact in the book, so.

not physically, but many of Kevin's actions are done to, in a way, psychologically torture his mother

Celia is found dead towards the end, and high school students are killed, both by Kevin using a bow and arrows.

As a child, Kevin fills a water gun with paint and sprays it on the walls of Eva’s bedroom. In retaliation, she takes the water gun and stamps on it while Kevin watches.

One scene shows kids dressed as clowns for Halloween attacking the mother’s house and car. Another shows a computer virus with a clown that pops up. Another shows a doctor’s office with clown photos all over it.

Around 55 minutes in. Once she picks the boy up from the floor, look away for about one minute. She is cleaning up vomit from the floor. No actual vomiting, just the aftermath.

when Kevin is pushed against the wall/floor, the sound makes it clear that the act was intense enough to cause an injury, but it's nothing like what you might hear in other movies when a character breaks a bone. it's mostly a loud bang. other sounds in other scenes might indicate that something gore happened, while not being triggering in themselves the context makes it hard to listen.

Kevin's condition is never stated, so him being autistic is entire plausible and he does go through a lot of abuse because of his behaviour, even as a little kid (like not talking or sliding the ball back).

At around 1hr 24 Kevin picks apart a lychee and eats it. The sounds are loud and gross and I had to skip ahead

*SPOILER*
During the school shooting, Kevin locks the door of the gym and main door of the school with bike locks. It does give the sense of being trapped in.

Repetitive use of bright colours and emergency siren imagery which could be interpreted as flashing. Some quick, blurring flashback sequences.

a character literally rants about fat people eating too much according to her, and ableist terms such as the r-slur are used.

Eva, unprompted, comments to Kevin at the mini golf place that fat people are always eating, that the only reason for fatness is eating too much. (More bias/prejudice than jokes.)

Eva walks in on Kevin masturbating, he continues and gives her a creepy smile. There are also sexual scenes between Eva and her husband, one of which Kevin walks in on as a child.

not in the usual sense, but Kevin's mother walks in on him masturbating and proceeds to continue while making eye contact with her until she closes the door and leaves

No, but there are a few scenes where characters push their faces into water and the camera shows it from underneath the water meaning you see it clearer so that could be slightly triggering for some people.

While the weapon used is later revealed to be a bow and arrow, there is a school shooting and the images associated with one (news reporters, ambulances and police cars, etc)
