Not a dog like 1 rating suggests. It's a cat that dies

I wouldn’t necessarily say the mom is abusive as a whole but she does commit some child abuse due to her frustration and mourning

The cats body is found at 39:30 and the boys lay on the ground with it with it at 39:50, skip to 40:05 to miss the scene. The cats body is floating in the liquid at 40:35, left in the living room for the mother to see. The scene ends around 41:33 after the mom dumps cockroaches in with the cats body. Got a little wordy here but 39:30-41:33 features the dead cat until the body and liquid is used as fuel for the fire in the 1:25:00 range and is zoomed in on while on fire from 1:29:30 to 1:29:50

The boys keep a lot of cockroaches in a tank and they're seen throughout the movie. In some scenes they're crawling into someone's mouth and out of cuts in their body

The mother is bound to a bed and the twins torture her. They burn a hole into her face, glue her mouth together and then cut it open with scissors, grind into her gums with tooth floss, and a few less gruesome tortures

The English subtitles said that the twins called each other the r-word. I don’t speak German so I don’t know if it is an accurate translation.

Very clearly so, imo. Brief themes of body checking and implied plastic surgery, and heavy themes of derealization connected to the dysmorphia

When the boys follow the meowing sound, they enter an old mass grave, stepping over piles of bones. Not antisemitism, but combined with setting (Austria), the visual might be triggering

Yes, the mother has her mouth glued shut and then cut open with scissors, resulting in bleeding. The boys have a dream of cutting her abdomen open vertically, but you can't see much gore as a result of all of the cockroaches inside her. The boys fist fight and have nosebleeds
