There is at least one story option that involves the protagonist's dog, an elderly pug named Gretchen, being killed. There is a chance dogs are also involved in the line-up scene of rotting animal carcasses, but I couldn't directly identify any. (There are foxes, however.)

As far as I know, as of episode one, the protagonist's cat Frou-Frou does not die. However, in a later scene there is a line-up of decaying, malformed, and slain animals; a few of which appear to be a mountain lion and at least one domestic cat. Poor babies..

This is my #1 trigger.
I will say: it's avoidable, if you get to the cutscene I believe it's skippable, it's pretty well telegraphed so there's plenty of warning.
All that said, I somehow still didn't see it coming and saw the scene and it is very graphic. I definitely had to step away for a while.
You do need to follow this path to unlock one of the achievements.
BIG spoilers:
When you're up on the curve with Stella at the end of chapter 4, there is the option to find out what happens to her parents. You get a cutscene of the car crash. When you see and hear the semi truck coming up the hill, it's soon after that.
You see that the top of the car has been sheared off and is sitting on the road with blood on it, then you enter the car and see Stella with glass on her face looking dazed, you see her looking forward shocked and horrified, and then you zoom backwards from the windshield and see both of her parents' bodies still sitting in their seats but with their heads completely severed.
I clicked through there, so I don't know if you actually see their heads.

The final chapter isn't out yet, but the game begins with a warning that says "you won't be able to save everyone. You may not be able to save yourself."

Depending on choices made, it's possible to see a flashback of a car crash happening. It may be considered graphic.

Nobody is hit by a car, but it's possible to encounter a depiction of a car crash where two people are killed.

There's both blood and gore- a lot of graphic material. This game may be hard to stomach if you're sensitive to this type of content.

A character dies from a shotgun blast to the head, and the aftermath is briefly shown.

No. But they do talk about a nuclear incident during the research montage.
