John A. Strumble Veterinary Practice

John A. Strumble Veterinary Practice uses the O’Connor Julian Veterinary Clinic website, which describes a second-generation, family-owned mixed practice established in 1967 (part of XLVets) and accredited under the VCI Practice Accreditation Scheme. The clinic appears set up for a wide range of cases across companion animals, equine, and farm animals, with on-site diagnostics (in-house blood testing) and routine procedures. The website states 24/7 veterinary care for clients.

In the latest reviews available, pet owners most often mention kind, professional handling, with specific examples including a dog that “didn’t want to go home” after being cared for at the clinic and a traveler who booked a cat in with an injury and highlighted friendly reception staff and vet.
