As far as I remember, there are no dogs in the movie. I believe a cat and some flies are the only animals seen in the movie.

A generational cycle of alcoholism is depicted and discussed; the parent was violent, but as an adult the child breaks the cycle.
However (⬇️SPOILERS⬇️)
the grown child does briefly reenact some of the parent’s menacing/violent actions while possessed, aimed at an unrelated child, but is clearly not himself and injury is prevented.

Not in the normal sense, but there's a character who supernaturally compels people to do/feel/believe what she wants them to. "You believe me" - "I believe you." Oh, and at one point a character says "No one told you that [...]", when in fact she herself told the other person exactly that, just in a different way. And the original lie had huge consequences for the person being lied to. So I guess that's gaslighting?

Neglect is a form of child abuse. Being tortured by strangers and other non-parental figures is also child abuse. Child abuse is not just bio-parents hitting their kids. Despite what one of the other comments says, there is very explicit and very horrifying child abuse in this movie. Proceed with caution if this is a trigger for you.

Absolutely no pedophilia, but the topic is raised several times. 1. Children getting kidnapped is a thing in this movie which is allegorically related. 2. Protagonist is an adult who is friends with a kid in a completely nonproblematic way but ppl's perception of that friendship references pedophilia before they realize the truth.

There are multiple death scenes in which characters painfully wheeze/visibly struggle to breathe, particularly the deaths of anyone in the True Knot. If the auditory factor of this trigger is troubling for you, it would be wise to mute during these deaths which all have similar warning signs preluding them.

We see the person surrounded by flames (apparently feeling no pain or discomfort), but then the camera cuts away, so we don't see them burning or hear them screaming. We only see the burning building from a distance while it happens.

No Achilles injury. In a psychic dreamscape, a character is cut repeatedly in the back of the leg just above the knee: might trigger the same people.
It is not a physical attack, there is much less blood than one would expect, and she does not react strongly to it or show any reduction in mobility.

All of the possession is just the characters shining to each other. If you're more shocked by visuals associated with possession, you may be unnerved, since many of the shining scenes include eyes rolling back, objects moving, etc. There's also a scene where Danny uses Abra to communicate to one of the antagonists.

2. I don't know the time but you can see it coming it's when Dan and Billy go to dig up a body and Billy vomits when he sees the dead body (visual and audio) and Dan gags/coughs/covers mouth but doesn't vomit.
Also there is talk about a character using an emetic but this is not shown.

Someone is supernaturally compelled to shoot themselves through the head. Someone else has to hurt her hand very badly in order to free herself. There are several alcoholics who are more or less ruining or have more or less ruined their own lives by drinking. Otherwise, I don't think so. There's nothing like, say, cutting because of mental/emotional anguish, i.e. no self-harm in the clinical sense.

While the villains are of various ethnic backgrounds and no unifying identity outside their evil practices is mentioned, they are nomadic, living entirely in RVs and trailers at campgrounds; most of them have a ‘boho’ personal style; and their leader has a slight Irish accent. Given that they steal children, this might be upsetting to people with very strong reactions to anti-Traveller/anti-Romani tropes and prejudices.

We see the ghosts of a baby and a woman who have started decomposing. The woman is the bathtub's skin is peeling. There is a scene involving a hand getting caught in a drawer where the skin is peeled. We see blood splatter on a child victim, although most of the damage to his body is audible and not visual. There is a scene where someone shoots themselves with a gun, though the damage is not shown in full effect.

There is a standoff with multiple guns and multiple deaths due to them. The graphic nature of this scene varies, but the finale is particularly upsetting.
