We study the effect of crystal field anisotropy in the underscreened $S=1$ Kondo lattice model. Starting from the two orbital Anderson lattice model and including a local anisotropy term, we show, through Schrieffer-Wolff transformation, that local anisotropy is equivalent to an anisotropic Kondo interaction ($J_{\parallel} \neq{J_{\perp}}$). The competition and coexistence between ferromagnetism and Kondo effect in this effective model is studied within a generalized mean-field approximation. Several regimes are obtained, depending on the parameters, exhibiting or not coexistence of magnetic order and Kondo effect. Particularly, we show that a re-entrant Kondo phase at low temperature can be obtained. We are also able to describe phases where the Kondo temperature is smaller than the Curie temperature ($T_K<T_C$). We propose that some aspects of uranium and neptunium compounds that present coexistence of Kondo effect and ferromagnetism, can be understood within this model.
