There is a VERY unnecessary scene where the soldiers shoot at and mortally wound a wolf for fun. There was no need for it

The scene where they shoot his pet wolf is beyond horrific! I am highly sensitive to animal suffering and this movie ranks as my number one worst ever. If you love animals, stay away from this movie!!! I won’t watch Kevin Costner in anything anymore because of his obvious need to show animals suffering. So Unnecessary!! I can’t say enough how awful this movie is and how distraught I was after watching it. Never again

One cat is shown for a few seconds at the start of the film. No harm comes to it during this time.

In the first scene, John Dunbar has been shot in the leg during combat and the doctors want to cut off his foot. However, he escapes before they're able to.

A character’s leg is almost amputated and a man whose leg was very recently amputated is briefly seen. No amputation on screen.

There's a flashback scene to give background information on Stands with a Fist's family. It shows her husband being murdered by Pawnee natives, and I believe (if my memory serves) it only implies that the children were killed as well and doesn't show their deaths.

It's ambiguous, but we see a character sitting on the ground turn around with a knife and their arm covered in blood

Where to Watch
If you are looking for dog/wolf friendly movies, move away from this movie!
If you can stomach it, it's a powerful movie. I just couldn't get past it when I was a child.
