     Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-8; PetMed Express, Inc. (the
          "Company")

Gentlemen:

     This opinion is submitted pursuant to the applicable rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the registration for public
sale of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value ("Common
Stock") reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options granted or to be
granted by the Company under its 1998 Stock Option Plan.

     In connection therewith, we have examined and relied upon original,
certified, conformed, photostat or other copies of (a) the Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws of the Company; (b) resolutions of the
Board of Directors of the Company authorizing the adoption of the 1998 Stock
Option Plan; (c) the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto; and
(d) such other matters of law as we have deemed necessary for the expression
of the opinion herein contained.  In all such examinations, we have assumed
the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, and the conformity to
originals or certified documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed,
photostat or other copies.  In passing upon certain corporate records and
documents of the Company, we have necessarily assumed the correctness and
completeness of the statements made or included therein by the Company, and we
express no opinion thereon. As to the various questions of fact material to
this opinion, we have relied, to the extent we deemed reasonably appropriate,
upon representations or certificates of officers or directors of the Company
and upon documents, records and instruments furnished to us by the Company,
without independently checking or verifying the accuracy of such documents,
records and instruments.

     Based upon and in reliance of the foregoing,  we are of the opinion that
the shares of Common Stock, when issued in accordance with the terms of the
Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan and certain stock option agreements pursuant
thereto, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

                                        /s/ Adorno & Yoss, P.A.
