A few happy clients on their special grooming day!
You can be assured that your pet will not be mass crated or
left caged for a long period of time. Scrubby Puppy never
uses crate dryers, which can also be very stressful for pets.
The professional groomers at Scrubby Puppy offer their
skilled experience to ensure that each detail is properly
finished, leaving your pet clean and refreshed with a
groom that will turn your afternoon walk into a dog show!
Scrubby Puppy also offers a Do-It-Yourself Dog Wash,
supplying tubs, shampoo, towels & dryers; open to walkins 6 days a week. Grooms are available by appointment,
call 985-871-5222. Scrubby Puppy is located at Good
Dog Naturally in downtown Covington, 1027 Village Walk,
just off Lee Lane.

Cut off from the outside world by its remote location and
shunned by all who know its forbidding and sinister
reputation, Hill House has remained empty and silent
except for the daily visits of its grumbling caretaker, Mrs.
Dudley. Its isolation is broken by the arrival of Dr.
Montague, an investigator of supernatural phenomena
who has been granted a short lease by the present owner.
His mission is to delve into the morbid history of the
house and to come to grips with the occult forces that
have made it uninhabitable for many years.
