PETMED EXPRESS D/B/A 1-800-PETMEDS ANNOUNCES THE DISMISSAL OF CLASS
ACTION SUITS

Pompano Beach, Florida, February 1, 2005 - PetMed Express, Inc.
(NASDAQ: PETS) is pleased to announce that the six consolidated
supposed class action suits against PetMed Express and several of its
officers were voluntarily dismissed today by the plaintiffs.  PetMed
Express has maintained from the inception of these suits that they
were clearly without merit.  With this dismissal, it is apparent that
the plaintiffs now agree.  The Company welcomes the removal of this
distraction so that it can continue to focus on its business goals.

delivering prescription and non-prescription pet medications and other
health products for dogs and cats at competitive prices direct to the
consumer through its 1-800-PetMeds toll free number and on the
