Blairsville Animal Hospital is located in Blairsville, GA in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. If you love the mountains, hiking, or any outdoor activity this is the place for you! You can enjoy some of Georgia’s most beautiful landmarks, like Brasstown Bald, over 80 miles of the Appalachian Trail - including the only portion that passes through a man-made structure, and Vogel State Park, one of Georgia’s oldest state parks with a 20-acre lake and swimming beach.
