The dog itself doesn't appear in the movie. We only see a woman in the background, grieving for her late pet and holding its picture and toys.

Male and female lead verbally fight, but there is no dynamic of abuse/control.

A background character is seen holding a box of her dogs belongings and photos, mourning its death, but this death is insignificant to the story and doesn't depict anything explicit.

One character steals another character's underwear without her knowledge or consent while she's unconscious. It may not fit everyone's definition of assault but it's creepy and uncomfortable.

There seems to be some confusion about that scene - Joel just pretends to slit his throat and smears ketchup or something across his throat to try and get his girlfriend’s attention. Not an actual suicide attempt

A relationship/desire for a relationship between two of the medical staff is a subplot, and they seem to be quite far apart in age.

This is a debatable depiction as one of the scenes in the clinic shows an elderly woman receiving treatment and she seems slightly out of her mind. This isn't explicitly Dementia/Alzheimer's, but could trigger a similar reaction to those more sensitive on the subject.
