NO ANIMALS DIE. The cat is presumed dead for a while, but is ultimately okay, Chance the dog is struck by a porcupine, and is very unhappy with the quills in his face, and they are dutifully, but callously pulled out. Shadow the dog falls down a mud slides and appears to give up trying get out, and for a moment it doesn't seem like he will get home, but this is a fake out! SHADOW MAKES IT HOME SAFE WITH BOTH THE OTHER ANIMALS. Also a mountain lion is flug off a cliff harmlessly.

Minor harm was done to animals for the film but the claims that cats were murdered to make it were never substantiated.

There are dogs, they fight a bit with one another and with other animals, but there is not organized dog fighting and there are no injuries.

However, there is a scene in which the cat is swept away over a large waterfall. After the dogs observe the height of the fall and the raging water below, she is (incorrectly) presumed dead. The implication is that the long fall would be deadly and not necessarily the water, itself. The scene could potentially be triggering.

Contrary to other ratings, yes. Early in the film Chance vomits after eating cake. Later, a character is carsick and the end result is shown on screen, containing a rubber ball.

most of the film takes place in the open wilderness. the closest to a claustrophobic scene would be a wedding reception at the beginning where many people are in a room. the scene is mostly shot from below which might add to any claustrophobia.

Some scenes shot from an animal's perspective use shakey cam and there are many tracking shots of animals running. The majority of the film is not shot with shakey cam.

However, there is a prolonged and dramatic scene in which the cat is struggling to escape a swift river. Various camera shots from within the water. She is swept away over a waterfall. After the dogs observe the height of the fall and the raging water below, she is (incorrectly) presumed dead. The implication is that the long fall would be deadly and not necessarily the water, itself. The scene could potentially be triggering.
