Multiple characters taunt the main character about the dog having been shot, ("where's the dog?") early in the film. According to the story the dog did not die but it's left ambiguous. The story itself about the dog is only a couple minutes, a little more than halfway through the film when cobb is describing paden to stella and slick at the saloon's bar. The story isn't particularly graphic. And it's used to center the ethical compass of the film, with the villains being cruel/heartless towards the dog and one of the heroes caring about the dog's wellbeing. It's not played for laughs.

There's a tense stakeout type scene where the bad guys are stalking an innocent family's house, trying to find one of the heroes. We see a mother step out onto the porch to shake out a bedsheet while lightly scolding a child about his bedtime. In the shadows, she's being watched by a minor villain.

Two women are in unhealthy/mildly threatening relationships. A third woman is slapped across the room in her own home, but it's less domestic violence and more "bad guys being bad."

There's a lot of drinking in saloons and so forth but not any blatant abuse of alcohol or alcoholism.

There are tons and tons of horses and cows in this film (and some pigs) and while what happens to them in the story (being shot at, being pushed through difficult terrain and weather without concern for their well being, etc.) is sort of typical of the western genre, I couldn't help but be really concerned for the actual horses and cows and pigs involved in filming these stunts, which looked very real, including a scene of cows being driven into a stampede with gunfire.
The credits do have a "made in association with American Humane" but do not have a "no animals were harmed during the making of this film."

Lots of horses, cows, and pigs are shot at. We see one piglet shot and bloody, and another pig already skinned over a fire :/
There are also a lot of furs, pelts, etc.
And there's a scene recounting a dog getting shot (offscreen).

The bad guys use a character's sister to try to get information out of him. One of them tauntingly announces that he'll have to "search" her, and then begins forcibly kissing her neck and groping her. This is soon interrupted.

No but it is a strong plot point on two occasions. We see a gallows, two characters sentanced to hang under dubious charges, and then much later in the movie, a third character sentanced to hang over blatantly corrupt charges. All characters escape.

A man is shot and falls off a roof. Unclear if shot or fall kills him. Multiple people fall from heights after being shot throughout the film.

A little boy's father is shot and said to be dying but is shown to have survived. But a grown man's father is shot and dies (the scene is onscreen but we don't actually see him take the bullet) and his mother has died from unspecified illness offscreen prior to the scene discussing her death.

One character is a womanizer who frequently is in trouble for kissing women who are with someone else or working for someone else (implied to be prostitutes in some cases).

A protagonist spits in a nameless villain's face. Many characters spit on the floor or ground, often in disrespect.

Weird that anyone would vote "no" - early in the film when we first meet Mel's character, a saloon is refusing to serve him and the saloon owner uses the n word

MILD spoiler, but Emmett is shot in the leg during the finale. It's not a serious injury, but there's a brief close up of the wound with some blood.

It's a rivivalist western. Gunfights in nearly every scene.
