Is it necessary for the meat we give to our pets to be slaughtered in a Halal way, or can we feed our pets meat that has been slaughtered unIslamically?

It is not obligatory to feed our pets Halal meat or food, though it is better to do so if we can, but it is not Haraam to feed our pets non Halal food. Non Halal food is Haraam (not allowed) forus but not Haraam on animals.

Makruh . Food . Animals . Zabiha

I have heard that it is Makruh to eat the liver or brain from a Halal animal that is otherwise slaughtered correctly? If so, what other parts of the animal are Makruh to eat?

It is not Makrouh to eat liver nor brain of Halal animal but it is Haraam to eat the gland inside the brain.

It is Makrouh to eat the kidney of Halal animal, as well as the veins and two small parts of meat out of the heart of the animal which are called the ears of the heart آذان القلب.

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. It is not permissible to eat meat which has not been slaughtered according to Islamic law, except in a situation of starvation, where there is no alternative (no other food at all) and at that point a person is allowed to eat only the amount that is necessary for survival. In Western countries this type of situation is not usual and there are plenty of alternatives to eat such as fish with scales, prawns, vegetables and other types of carbohydrates (bread, rice, pasta) and so on.

May you always be successful

Christians . Halal . God (Allah) . South Africa . Zabiha . Prophet Ibrahim

In South Africa there are some misinformed Christians who boycott Halal meat thinking it has been slaughtered in the name of a foreign god. To counter this situation can we say "In the name of the God of Prophet Ibrahim" instead of "In the name of Allah"?

Yes we can say that because the God of Prophet Ibrahim is none but Allah.
