Zusammenfassung:	Animal assisted therapy (AAT) belongs among creative therapies. The knowledge of clinical ethology creates space for application of AAT as an alternative method of treatment used in human medical practice. It is based on the relationship between the man and animals. It employs physical, psychosocial, and emotional influences on the patient. The paper presents some forms of AAT and the animal species which are commonly used in dependence on indication (type of problems), considering the sex and age of patients. Discussed is the positive influence of animals on the quality of life of affected humans.
