Purchasing pet supplies in GND
Hi, I'll be bringing my small dog with me to the island. Can I get basic pet supplies on the island, esp the paper that shes potty trained for(disposable absorbent pads).
Also how hard is it to get dog food and treats on the island?

As far as food...are you a vet student? If you are, Hill's brand foods provides dog/cat food at a very, very low price and you will be introduced to this fairly early (in the first few days of class) by the Hill's reps. If you aren't a vet student, food is available from the main supermarket in spiceland mall which is right across from the SGU grand anse campus...or, also, the pet store. Usually there are some generic brands as well as Iams or Purina type brands.

I thought the pet store in the round houses was closed? I hope I was wrong!
Also, if you're buying your food at the grocery store (if you're not a vet student), I would seriously consider bringing some down, as good stuff like Iams is insanely expensive there.

I tried to buy puppy supplies right before the end of finals, and they were closed up. But perhaps it's only temporary - I hope. Just got back - I'll check and report back next time I go to the round houses.

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.
