Does the dog die? How to check before you watch
Nobody wants to be blindsided by a scene involving an animal. ScreenTriggers is a community-built record of what happens on screen — including harm to pets and animals — so you can check a film or series before you press play, and know roughly when a moment arrives if you decide to watch anyway.
Check a title in three steps
- 1. Search the title. Type the film or show into the search bar on the home page.
- 2. Pick what you want to avoid. Select your trigger and it follows you around the site, so every poster, season and episode is checked against it.
- 3. Read the timeline. Reported moments show as marks along the runtime, so you know when to look away.
Why a community record beats a single reviewer
One person's summary is easy to disagree with. When several viewers independently report the same moment, the timeline reinforces itself and you get both confidence and timing. Every report is reviewed before it is published, and the comment section is there for extra detail — never as the main source of the warning itself.
Common questions
Does the dog die in this movie?
Search the film on ScreenTriggers and open its page. If a viewer has reported animal harm, you will see it listed with a timeline showing roughly when in the runtime it happens, so you can look away or skip ahead.
How does ScreenTriggers know?
Every warning comes from the community. Viewers submit what they saw, which trigger it belongs to, and optionally when it happened. Reports are reviewed before they are published, and repeated reports on the same moment reinforce each other.
What about TV shows?
TV series are broken down season by season and episode by episode, so you can see exactly which episodes contain a reported moment instead of avoiding a whole show.
What if nobody has reported a title yet?
The indicator stays grey, which means unknown rather than safe. You can request the title and, once you have watched it, add the first report yourself.
