There are two replayed scenes in season four where Betty kills a cat as a child. You don't see the cat but it makes a sound

Betty kills her cat as a child because she (the cat) has been hit by a car. It’s not super graphic but there is a noise as the cat is killed with a rock.

occasional eating scenes - all of the characters chew relatively softly and its not to triggering mostly but there are a few bad ones - usually not a concern

There are multiple episodes where there is a heavy amount of camera footage, a few documentary style episodes, and a lot of camera panning and quick movements.

Season 6, episode 5. It explains the previous 4 episodes of the season and the designation of Jughead as narrator. These first 5 episodes of season 6 are part of a special event/parallel universe to make the Sabrina crossover make sense. You can skip these episodes without missing canon plot.

For two characters, they were both attempted to be forced to have an abortion, but it didn't happen. There is some other talk, but nothing on screen and nothing actually happens.
