Not necessarily abandoned, but at the end, a couple no longer own the dog they had throughout most of the movie. They discuss how bad the dog was for them and how much better their new dog is. They never clarify what happened to the previous dog.

the same character who kisses a main character without her consent is also abusive to his wife and son. This is a light comedy so it doesn't go all that far but he does say awful things to his son in particular. Another couple in the show screams at each other, getting progressively worse as the film goes on.

YES the only child in the whole movie, while only in it very briefly, is violently threatened by his father and is clearly afraid to speak or be around him.

2 characters in particular yell at their dog a lot and the dog has a lot of resulting anxiety, but the rest of the dogs are all pampered. No dogs are physically injured in any way.

(mild) A characters is briefly but intensely kissed without consent and has comments made about her appearance and past sex life by men throughout the movie. She mostly seems to enjoy the attention, and it's hard to say if the times she looks uncomfortable are because of the men or because she knows her husband will be jealous again.

SPOILERS
A man thinks his wife will cheat on him because of her 'busy' past but other than some flirting from the men she encounters nothing happens beyond a 'friendly' kiss that was forced on her.
Another woman has a sugar daddy (or beard?) but a different romantic partner. Their particular arrangement is never discussed so it may or may not be cheating.

Right after Beatrice's owners realize the bee toy is missing, the husband climbs entirely into a snug dog carrier, but it only lasts a few seconds and is only shown from the outside. There are also a few scenes in a small utility closet at the hotel, but the door is always open and no one gets trapped inside.

I'm not sure what the 'yes' vote was given for. As far as I recall the only character we see eat just buys some popcorn at the convention center to distract her from her nerves, which I wouldn't consider to be indicative of an eating disorder on its own.

There are caricatures throughout including gay and lesbian stereotypes. Though I have to say, as a gay dude at least, I do have some friends who are pretty much clones of the gay characters
