No dogs are harmed, but it's worth mentioning that the monsters (who are vaguely dog shaped and sounding, and one of them eats a bag of dog food) die at the end of the movie

No. There's a virginity joke/insult along the lines of "Lucky for you that they don't sacrifice virgins". That movie trope is so old, unfunny and potentially harmful. :/

A now grown woman was abandoned by her (now deceased) father as a child, and she feels like he never cared about her (which it turns out near the end that he did). No flashbacks to her being abandoned. The woman's children, who are still children in the movie, were abandoned by their father as well, also before the movie's events. They don't seem to be as affected by their loss as their mother was and is by the loss of her father. No flashbacks to them being abandoned.

No one has been abused, but I want to mention this: A woman who was abandoned by her father as a child, and has borne a sorrow-driven grudge towards him ever since, finds out that he did in fact care about her, but had to leave - not that I quite understand why he had to. Learning of his reasons, she forgives him, as evidenced in a moving scene towards the end of the movie. Whether he deserves to be forgiven or not, I can't really say, since, again, I don't really see why he couldn't have stayed in contact with her despite his important mission.

There is a moment where child abuse *might* happen. When the mum is possessed by Zuul, she begins moving in a sensual way (though at least very toned down from how Dana acted while possessed in the original movie), and she briefly directs her suggestive body language at Podcast (a 12-year-old boy) while stroking his face. She thankfully backs off after a few seconds.

There is a tiny moment towards the beginning when the mum is shaving/trimming the son's hair with an electric razor and as she jumps up off the bench she was sitting on the son flinches & grabs the back of his head, then looks at his hand & claims she knocked him & drew blood, though I couldn't see any blood. The moment moves on pretty much instantly.

I see no reason to outright assume that the genitals of the character who's ripped in half are damaged - in fact I'd tend to believe that they went with one of the halves. In any case, we don't see the genitals.

The story revolves around the children’s grandfather passing away, and their family inheriting their farm.
SPOILERS AHEAD
He (his ghost) reappears at the end to help them in the final battle scene of the movie, and it does get quite emotional when he says goodbye - may be triggering for some experiencing loss.

An invisible (benevolent) ghost is in a kid's bedroom with her, and she doesn't know that it's there, at least at first. It must be assumed that the ghost is watching her, though we don't know for how long. The same thing happens with a grown woman in a basement - with the same benevolent ghost. In fact, this ghost probably watches the whole family as well as others much of the time throughout the movie.

One kid is a conspiracy theorist and mentions lizard people but nothing worse than that. The “lizard people” conspiracy is adjacent to QAnon and is similar to the “world Jewish” conspiracy in many ways, as both propose an “other” control everything. I don’t think the writers realized this but it was certainly worth noting.
