Dr. Gabi Aguirre graduated with both her undergraduate and veterinary degrees from the University of Georgia. Upon graduating, she completed a rotating medicine & surgery internship at Peterson Smith Equine Hospital in Ocala, FL. She is originally from Jupiter, FL but fell in love with the area during her time in school. When not working, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, time outside with her two dogs, Georgia and Kirby, playing pickleball, and cheering on the Dawgs.

It’s that time of year again when we start thinking about Potomac Horse Fever vaccination. Higher risk areas around us seem to be Ball Ground, Canton, and Dawsonville. Please talk to your vet about when to booster - in some higher risk locations we will recommend vaccinating now and again in 3 months.

To schedule your horse’s vaccination please call the office at 770-475-6421.
