Loveland is a river town about 15 miles northeast of Cincinnati where the Little Miami Scenic Trail runs straight through downtown, and that trail shapes pet life here. Nisbet Park and the riverfront are where leashed dogs walk, Ramsey's Trailside and Hops and Berry sit right on the trail, and the Dog Days of Summer festival brings a pet parade and on-site adoptions to downtown every September.
The off-leash option is the Matt Haverkamp Foundation Dog Park behind Kiwanis Park on Wall Street, a fenced two-acre park with a separate small-dog area and an agility course that residents petitioned the city to build in 2022. Four veterinary practices cover the city, and both Kings Veterinary Hospital and Loveland Regional Animal Hospital take urgent visits.
Loveland is split across three counties, and most of the city, including downtown, is in Clermont County. That matters for licensing: Clermont dogs are licensed through the Clermont County Auditor, and stray and lost dogs go to the county shelter in Batavia. If your address is in the Hamilton or Warren County part of the city, your county's auditor and shelter apply instead.

Loveland pet questions, answered
Where is the dog park in Loveland, Ohio?
The Matt Haverkamp Foundation Dog Park is at the rear of Kiwanis Park, 240 Wall Street. It is a city-run, fully fenced off-leash park of about two acres with a separate small-dog area, an agility course, water and seating. It opened in spring 2022 after residents petitioned the Recreation Board.
Can I walk my dog on the Little Miami Scenic Trail in Loveland?
Yes, on a leash. The paved trail passes through downtown Loveland, one of its busiest access points, with free parking, restrooms and picnic tables. Nisbet Park on Karl Brown Way is a common starting point, and several trailside patios welcome dogs.
Which county do I license my dog in if I live in Loveland?
It depends on your address. Most of Loveland, including downtown, is in Clermont County, so most residents license through the Clermont County Auditor. Addresses in the Hamilton County or Warren County parts of the city license through those counties' auditors instead.

Kings Veterinary Hospital on Montgomery Road and Loveland Regional Animal Hospital on West Loveland Avenue both offer urgent care visits during business hours, and Loveland Regional lists after-hours emergency referrals. Call ahead, and check each clinic's site for its overnight referral hospital.
