A licking stone with a solid base material which can be absorbed by mammals when licked, comprising at least one additive to said base material in order to alleviate discomfort. A licking stone of this variety facilitates the administration of medicaments or active substances that alleviate discomfort. The licking stone and the medicament that is to be administered can be arranged in such a way that the animal has constant access thereto. The animal continually receives the medicament or active substance by licking and/or smelling and inhaling as a result of the stone's attractive taste and natural instinct. Since absorption of medicaments is no longer restricted to specific administration of individual doses and feeding times, it is possible to achieve a substantially constant level of action requiring little effort. Constant alleviation of discomfort and a continuous healing process are guaranteed. |
