*The* dog doesn't die, nor do any characters we have grown to care about, but one or two background dogs are shown to have died off-screen. The movie is meant to be satisfying overall to anyone who cares about dogs, as the dogs are given a happy ending.

No, but there is talk of dogs being experimented on and harmful drug use on the part of the people experimenting on the dogs. It is not made explicit but it is in the realm of possibility.

Not only there are countless dogs being abandoned on an island to literally die, but the cats of the bad guys end up in jail alongside them. it's a small scene, but since the dogs got their happily ever after, it was heartbreaking to see cats not receiving the same treatment. they were not the problem, the people were.

Dogs (that are characters in this film) fight several times, but not in the sense of dog fighting as a show for humans.

Some of the dogs are described as having mental/ behavioral health symptoms affiliated with the main diseases, and many of the characters are hopeless and show signs of suicidal ideation.

This movie was hugely riddled with orientalism. There are a variety of appropriative elements, and deeply disappointing themes. Japanese speakers are specifically not accurately translated in subtitles, despite being heavily featured in the movie, and there is no plot reason for any of it.
At one point the dogs are rounded up and put in a camp, plotted for genocide. This felt particularly in poor taste with the context of Japanese internment.
Specifically speaking in terms of main character perspective, the dogs as a "minority" are also propagandized in the movie, which is an overarching plot.

There is no antisemitism present, but it should be noted that the film is rife with visual references to concentration camps, which may be distressing to some people

During the traditional sushi preparation scene, done by a master chef, where a live fish and crab are gutted and prepared. It's extremely amusingdisheartening based on your stand, but overall an extreme scene.
Also, a very graphic kidney transplantation scene with blood splatter and breathing" flesh. This is a claymation and it's done in a professional way, looking like a documentary recording from a distance and a fixed view, rather than exploitation scene, but it's quite graphic too.
