Recently we have with economic growth many rapid sociocultural changes and an increase in the number of nuclear families. Due to these changes elderly people feel loneliness in families instead of a sense of closeness or a bond with their children. The feeling of loneliness causes elderly suicide that increases every year and it is required solution and prevention rapidly. This study aims to analyse literatures which explores the evidence that companion animals can contribute to quality of life. And then we searched needs and possibilities of AAA(animal assisted activity) as a way to reduce loneliness of elderly people. Quality of life of old aged people is influenced not only by objective factor like economic situation, but also by subjective factors like social support, attention, fellowship, roles etc. Literatures that explores influences on elderly people"s quality of life of companion animals showed that depression of people with companion animals was much lower than people with no pet. And therapy with animals is more effective than a Therapy through entertainment activity. As results of study show that psychological factor plays very important role in Quality of life, companion animals have positive effects in psychological and emotional aspect. Thus, to improve quality of life of elderly people, the programs with companion animals must be considered because companion animals can reduce loneliness of old people.
