           CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
  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 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 under which such statements were
        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)) 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 Annual 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 Annual Report based on
           such evaluation; and

        d) Disclosed in this Annual 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 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 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.
