I loved the pomegranate and the fig.....I wonder if pomegranate is ok for dogs, either in general or liver compromised.

I printed out a list of foods and their purine content last night (I don't think I'll be only going with the lowest of low unless she gets sick....I am of the belief that you have to have some animal protein in your diet in order to get all the amino acids you need to be healthy, but we can be smart about the animal proteins we choose and/or how often she gets them is my thinking!) Anyway, there were a couple of fruits/veggies that I noticed had a pretty low purine content.....apricot, asparagus, avocado, banana, blueberry, broccoli, carrot, cucumber, dried figs, kiwi, lettuce, cantelope, mushrooms, peach, pear, pineapple, plum, dried plum, potato, pumpkin, raspberry, spinach, summer squash, strawberry, tomato....and also cheeses and yogurt.

I know that bananas, blueberries, broccoli, dried figs, pineapple, raspberry, spinach, and strawberries are pretty high in manganese.....

Anything wrong with the others (in blue)?? (I know tomatoes are supposedly bad for dogs, but I thought that was just the plant?? Is that wrong?)
We don't use things like pineapple here because they are acidic.
Tomatoes are controversial. I'm thinking the people who say it is the plant itself would be correct because Ellie's nutritionist never said they were toxic (I go a short list from her). I rarely give it though becuase I'm unsure and I don't know how it would set.
