Montgomery is a small, walkable suburb about 11 miles northeast of downtown Cincinnati, and it shares its 45242 ZIP code with Blue Ash next door. The city keeps eight parks and a nature preserve on more than 96 acres, stitched together by over 30 miles of sidewalks, which is why so much of Montgomery's dog life happens on foot through the neighborhoods rather than in one big park.
There is no off-leash park inside the city, and Montgomery's ordinance bars dogs from running at large anywhere. The two closest fenced dog parks are minutes away: the seasonal Bark Park in Symmes Township Park on Lebanon Road, open roughly April through November, and the year-round Summit Park Dog Park in Blue Ash. MadTree's Summit Park taproom is the nearest dog-friendly patio.
Veterinary care lines Montgomery Road from Kenwood up to the city, including Montgomery Animal Hospital, which has been operating since 1940, and Mission Vet Urgent Care in Blue Ash for evening and weekend problems. Dog licenses come from the Hamilton County Auditor, and the county dog warden handles strays.
