Creatures Great & Small

We often get asked about emergencies and what happens. In the event of a fire or carbon monoxide, we have a state of the art alarm system. There are over 40 sensors in the building for both fire and carbon monoxide. They are sensitive. It is programmed to call the fire department immediately. It simultaneously calls me, my husband, and key staff members. This morning I cleaned out a vacuum filter and released a lot of dust. When Jasper started vacuuming the empty cat runs a dust cloud resulting in setting off the alarm... I yelled at Jasper to ensure all was okay, it was. I ran to the alarm to override it, but I wasn't fast enough. And this was about a minute that passed. It had already called the fire department and they were already here. They arrived within a minute of resetting the alarm. They checked everything out and left While this wasn't an emergency, it did demonstrate how it works and that it works. As a thank you to the Emergency workers that came in bad weather, we will be making a donation to the S.T.F.D. #creaturesgreatandsmall

Today is Monday, January 6, 2025. Due to the inclement weather we are closed today. If you are scheduled to pick your pet up today, please call first. While I am here, I am on limited staffing so any arrangements must be by appointment as I am taking care of animals in our care. (434) 973-4437 I hope everyone has a safe and fun day! #creaturesgreatandsmallcville #petcarecville #petboardingcville #winterweather

We are looking forward to a great Christmas. #creaturesgreatandsmallcville #petboardingcville #dogboardingcville #familyownedbusiness #anewcreaturesiscoming

Getting storage back today is very exciting. While this part is probably the least exciting for our customers, this has probably been the most inconvenient for us because we have had stuff everywhere for a week. Looking forward to getting organized. #creaturesgreatandsmallcville #petboardingcville #dogboardingcville #anewcreaturesiscoming #familyownedbusiness

So, I was allowed to walk on the floor this morning. It was very exciting. #creaturesgreatandsmallcville #petboardingcville #dogboardingcville #familyownedbusiness #anewcreaturesiscoming
