          CERTIFICATION OF PRINCIPAL 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 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.
