SUMMARY:

Studies indicate that the coexistence of seniors and pets brings numerous health benefits, such as relief of disease symptoms, reduction of stress, and encouragement to practice physical activities. In parallel to this, there has been a significant increase in the number of households with pets, notably among the elderly, due to the social isolation caused by COVID-19, among other possible factors, resulting in a growth in the market for pet-related products. This research proposes to identify the affective attributes that influence the consumption of pet products based on the attachment relationship between active seniors and pets in order to contribute to cognitive ergonomics, targeting healthy aging and emotional design, to propose design recommendations/ guidelines.
