There is light suggestive humor, including a dog briefly humping a human's leg and later a dog toy. A scene features a woman getting a massage; while she is seen moaning, she remains fully covered by a towel.

The violence is strictly cartoonish and slapstick. Moments include chases, a dog being tossed, and a scene where a woman punches a man in the face; no blood or realistic injury is shown.

None. There are no profanities used in the film.

None. There are no depictions of alcohol, drugs, or smoking.

The central theme involves the death of a pet's owner and the subsequent abandonment the dog faces, which may be emotionally resonant for children. The story also touches on themes of greed and dishonesty represented by the secondary antagonists.

Trouble runs 88 minutes, directed by Kevin Johnson, released in 2019.
