In S4E6 there is heavily implied suggestion of child sexualization involving a parent being recalled by a woman under hypnosis, with ambiguous abuse suggestions related.

Sort of. Animals are confiscated and put under a euthanasia order. The order is rescinded by the end of the episode. It's unclear what becomes of the dogs, as their owner is sent to jail.

In some episodes there is spousal violence in the opening murder scenes. For example, S4E6 includes a husband hitting and then beating his wife before he's murdered.

There are references to animal testing in some episodes, such as S4E6, which could be considered abusive to some.

In "No Time To Die" a woman is kidnapped. The kidnapper touches her legs in a way that clearly makes her uncomfortable and is uncomfortable to watch.
Later in the episode he tries to force her to marry him and talks about "consummating" their marriage, implying he intends on sexually assaulting her. He's thwarted before he can go through with it, but he comes uncomfortably close.

There is implied gore. Dogs maul a man to death, but we cut away before blood is drawn.

There's cheating in characters' backstory that's relevant to the plot, but none that's ongoing at the time of the episode.

Yes, Columbo is a cop. He is written to be unlike a cop; he's gentle, hates guns, and questions authority. But he is still a cop.

No, but it’s framed to look like a suicide, suggesting that someone committed suicide by putting their head in the oven. Phrases like “suicide” and similar thoughts are said throughout.

Prejudice

Yes, but not malicious ableism. Columbo uses I.Q as a casual measurement of intelligence despite that concept being rooted in ableism and eugenics. Nothing aggressive, though. (also probably not seen as a bad thing considering when Columbo was made.)

There is, but it isn't shown onscreen. There are shots of the corpses, but they usually look serene/are not fully shown/are covered. Blood is very rare.
