Anderson Township is the big east-side township along the Ohio River, about 13 miles from downtown, and it has its own park district with more than 500 acres across nine parks. That makes it one of the greener places in Hamilton County to own a dog, and the pet businesses cluster along Beechmont Avenue and Clough Pike where most residents already shop.
The off-leash spot is the Kellogg Park Dog Field, a fenced four-acre field at the back of Kellogg Park on the river side of the township. It works on a permit system: you need a current Anderson Park District dog permit and proof of vaccination to use it, so sort that out before your first visit. Laverty Park's paved trail through 9.2 wooded acres is the leashed alternative.
Three veterinary practices in the township take urgent cases during the day, and MedVet on Red Bank Road in nearby Fairfax is the 24/7 emergency hospital most Anderson pet owners end up using overnight. Dog licenses are a Hamilton County Auditor function, and the township has its own resolution on the control of dogs.
