S5, E12: Merry Evasion.
A woman's home is invaded, her dog Bubba attacks the intruder, and gets shot offscreen. We don't see it happen but we do hear him yelp/whimper when the victim exits the house.
Bubba lives though! Will update if any later episodes do have a dog die.

One major character’s backstory includes having a father who abused him and his mother, and then shooting his abusive father in self-defence at a young age.

It’s not shown on screen, but one major character’s backstory includes an abusive father who the character shot in self-defense. In addition, there is a character who grew up in foster care, and the majority of the homes he described having been in were unhealthy environments. In addition, multiple characters were mentioned to have been trained to endure pain as children which is exactly as bad as it sounds.

The show is set in modern-day LA, so there are no fantastical creatures.

In season 14 episode 18 there is a room full of bugs that includes close-ups of different bugs, spiders, etc. I would skip the first scene and go straight to the theme song for this episode if bugs are a trigger.

There is a scene in the episode "Unlocked Mind" where the female character is drugged and about to get sexually assaulted, but she regains control in time.

in one of the later seasons, a character is shot in the leg; it goes untreated long enough that it eventually needs amputated.

Several times throughout the series background characters are driven to suicide, or murdered and with it staged to look like such.

Depends on whether you consider "a kick to the gonads" to be trauma.

There is mild gore (characters being stabbed/shot) but nothing past blood or the occasional mutilation.

Flashing effects are edited onto almost every gunshot fired in the series. I'm in season 5 and I think I've only seen one shot so far in which they didn’t use the effect.

These flashing effects frequently fill up the entire screen, so anyone sensitive to flashing lights shouldn't be watching.

If you could show me an episode without bleeding gunshot wounds I would be profoundly impressed.

There are threats of dirty bombs going off, but the danger is always averted. This is a show that’s supposed to realistically be set in modern day LA, so they can’t fail.
