I would not deviate from Blaze's diet if he has a history of bladder stones. If you are feeding u/d, there are canned versions that can be used to stuff Kongs and then frozen as an extra treat, or can also be baked into crunchy cookies to give some variety without going off his diet. Your vet can also let you know of any other science diet foods that are compatible with u/d along with treats that may add some variety.
