               Re:   Registration Statement on Form SB-2;  PetMed
                     Express, Inc. (the "Company")

     Gentlemen:

           This  opinion is submitted pursuant to the  applicable
     rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect
     to  the registration by the Company of 14,441,932 shares  of
     Common  Stock, $.001 par value, including shares  of  Common
     Stock  underlying certain convertible debentures and  common
     stock purchase warrants (collectively "Common Stock").

           In  connection therewith, we have examined and  relied
     upon  original,  certified, conformed,  photostat  or  other
     copies  of  (i) the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws  of
     the  Company; (ii) resolutions of the Board of Directors  of
     the Company authorizing the offering and the issuance of the
     Common  Stock  and  related matters; (iii) the  Registration
     Statement  and  the exhibits thereto; and  (iv)  such  other
     matters  of  law  as  we  have  deemed  necessary  for   the
     expression  of the opinion herein contained.   In  all  such
     examinations,  we  have  assumed  the  genuineness  of   all
     signatures  on  original documents, and  the  conformity  to
     originals or certified documents of all copies submitted  to
     us  as  conformed,  photostat or other copies.   As  to  the
     various questions of fact material to this opinion, we  have
     relied, to the extent we deemed reasonably appropriate, upon
     representations or certificates of officers or directors  of
     the  Company  and  upon documents, records  and  instruments
     furnished  to  us  by  the  Company,  without  independently
     checking  or  verifying  the  accuracy  of  such  documents,
     records and instruments.

           We  are members of the Bar of the State of Florida and
     express  no  opinion on any law other than the laws  of  the
     State of Florida applicable Federal Securities laws.

           Based  upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion  that
     the  Common  Stock has been duly and validly authorized  and
     when issued and paid for in accordance with their terms will
     be  fully paid and non-assessable.  We hereby consent to the
     filing  of  this  opinion as an exhibit to the  Registration
