PETMED EXPRESS D/B/A 1-800-PETMEDS ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER
FINANCIAL RESULTS - NET INCOME INCREASES 34% TO RECORD $0.20 EPS

Pompano  Beach,  Florida, July 24, 2006 -  PetMed  Express,  Inc.
(NASDAQ:  PETS)  today announced its financial  results  for  the
quarter  ended  June 30, 2006.  Net income was $4.8  million,  or
$0.20  diluted  per share, for the quarter ended June  30,  2006,
compared  to  net  income of $3.5 million, or $0.15  diluted  per
share,  for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, an increase  to  net
income  of  34%.  Net sales for the quarter ended June  30,  2006
were  $50.7  million, compared to $43.6 million for  the  quarter
ended  June 30, 2005, an increase of 16%.  Approximately  59%  of
all  sales  were placed on the Company's website  for  the  first
fiscal quarter, compared to 54% for the same quarter in the prior
year.

Menderes Akdag, CEO and President, commented: "We are pleased  to
report that our retail reorder sales increased by 32%, from $25.8
million to $33.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and
2006,  respectively.  We will continue to focus on reorder  sales
in   fiscal   2007  by  initiating  more  relevant   personalized
communication and health education content to build value for our
customers  and  assist them in choosing the  right  products  for
their  pets.   Earlier in the year we made a  strategic  business
decision  to  focus  more  on  retail  customers,  and  to  limit
wholesale  sales.   Our retail sales, excluding wholesale  sales,
increased  by  19%, compared to an increase of 21% for  the  same
quarter  in  the prior year.  We are also pleased to report  that
net  cash  provided  by operating activities  increased  by  $1.8
million, from $8.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 to
$9.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006."

conference  call to review the quarter's financial  results.   To
