   PURSUANT TO SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, MENDERES AKDAG, certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of PetMed
Express, Inc.;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
the period covered by this quarterly report;

3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this report, fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
report;

4.   The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and we have:

     a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
     disclosure controls and procedures to be designated under our
     supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
     registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
     to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
     period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;

     b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or
     caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed
     under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
     reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
     statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles;

     c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
     controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions
     about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures,
     as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report based
     on such evaluation; and

     d) Disclosed in this quarterly report any changes in the
     registrant's internal control over financial reporting that occurred
     during the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's
     fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
     materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
     the registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.   The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed,
based on our most recent evaluation of the internal controls over
financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons
performing the equivalent functions):

     a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
     or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are
     reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to
     record, process, summarize and report financial data and have
     identified for the registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in
     internal controls; and

     b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
     other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
     internal controls over financial reporting.
