The pet store in the round houses is not open at the moment. Not sure if it's closed for good, but it doesn't look promising. As I said, I would bring them down.
Lots of stuff is inconvenient to bring, but if you don't you're utterly screwed. I feel the same way about lugging my taped-up bottles of shampoo, conditioner, face soap, etc. - and they add a lot more weight than puppy pads - but if I didn't I'd be stuck paying $20 for a bottle of Herbal Essences or $40 for a tube of face soap. So I bring an extra duffel bag full of toiletries for the term, even though it sucks. Same goes for specialized pet supplies - pads for friends, and kongs, ropes, chew toys, etc. for my dog, Cosmic Catnip for the kitties. Grenada is not a consumer economy, it's quite the opposite. If you want something specific, you've got to bring it or make do without, or if you're lucky enough to find it, pay 3-10x what it costs back home. I just lug the stuff on my way in and portion it out to last the term. Don't expect to buy clothes here, either, or household goods. It's just not an option. Shopping is a depressing activity here, since you can barely do it at all, and it's frustrating how little is available and how expensive it is.
