I,  Menderes  Akdag, Chief Executive Officer of PetMed Express,  Inc.,
certify that:

1.    I  have  reviewed  this Annual Report on  Form  10-K  of  PetMed
      Express, Inc.;

2.   Based  on  my knowledge, this Annual 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  made, not misleading with respect  to  the  period
     covered by this Annual Report;

3.   Based  on  my  knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and  other
     financial  information  included in this  Annual  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 Annual 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)) 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 Annual Report is being prepared;

          b)   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  Annual  Report  based  on   such
          evaluation; and

          c)  Disclosed  in  this Annual 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 officers 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.
