Here is some better info about this great animal: http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/899/0
@gorfian,
not sure i understand your question. arctic foxes and their ancestors would have been typically meat-eating / omnivorous back through the early caniforms (the 'dog' branch) and all the way to the earliest carnivoran ancestors right through to the miacids, which they evolved from.
so we're talking 40 - 60 million years of mainly meat eating. occasionally there's a vegeterian carnivoran, like the panda bear, but they are quite rare AFAIK.
