Tilapia Ceviche (with dog-safe ingredients)

When I saw white fish as one of the proteins that I could make my dog’s food from, I just knew that I had to try my hand at a dog-safe ceviche, and I was not disappointed. It’s probably for the best that Waffles was not a fan for a couple reasons. Firstly, I ate the whole batch myself. And second, the tilapia was the only ingredient I used from Waffles’ vet-balanced recipe. This worked out great because I could let her fish cook while I prepared my ceviche, and then I put both in the refrigerator for a couple hours, and by the time we were ready for dinner, I had a perfectly marinated ceviche, and Waffles had a delicious fish fillet that was completely cooled. Let’s talk about how to make this because I definitely swapped a couple ingredients to fit the needs of my dog-safe kitchen while keeping my flavors balanced.
