A dog is seen lying down next to two dead bodies. However, it's unlikely they "abandoned" the dog by choice, and the dog later comes to live with the main character and his family.

The "stalker" in this movie is a guy who guides visitors through a mysterious place. There is no stalking in the sense of somebody being creepily pursued or hunted by somebody else.

The writer character is supposed to be an alcoholic and carries alcohol around with him, but he's not really getting wasted on screen or anything like that

Sometimes when the characters lie down on the ground, a bug or caterpillar will appear and for example crawl on their finger briefly, no large amount of bugs

Nobody has cancer in the film. However, if you are someone who likes to look up background information, it may be worth noting that the director and several other people who worked on the film are said to have contracted cancer from pollution in the location where the film was shot. This context may make it a more disturbing watch.

some of the sound effects like water dripping can easily disturb someone with misophonia issues, the atmospheric sounds like that are usually very loud too.

It is known that the so-called stalkers often have children that have some kind of disability, and this is talked about in negative terms

In general no, but one of the characters says he's like the "wandering jew," a reference to a Christian myth that can seem antisemitic.

The whole film is eerie, serious, and melancholy, and the ending maintains the same tone. It's not a devastating or sad ending in relation to the rest of the film. All the main characters survive.

No, but the atmosphere can remind someone of a post apocalyptic event like a nuclear explosion, like Chernobyl.

Near the beginning, soldiers shoot at the main characters' vehicle to prevent them from entering the Zone. Nobody is hurt.
