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

I,  Menderes  Akdag, Chief Executive Officer and President  of  PetMed
Express, Inc., 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 quarterly 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 quarterly report;

4.  The registrant's other certifying officers 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 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  change  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
      quarterly  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 officers and I have  disclosed,
    based on our most recent evaluation of the internal control  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 control over  financial
      reporting  which  are reasonably likely to adversely  affect
      the  registrant's ability to record, process, summarize  and
      report financial information; and

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