Relying exclusively on a false and defamatory, anonymous &#8220;report&#8221; posted on August 23, 2017 on the Aurelius Value website claiming that the Company&#8217;s growth was due in part to marketing addictive animal drugs to opioid addicts, the plaintiff alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company denies the complaint&#8217;s unfounded accusations and intends to defend itself vigorously against the plaintiff&#8217;s factually and legally meritless allegations. </FONT></P>

Item 8.01   Other Events.
On August 25, 2017, a shareholder filed a putative securities class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against PetMed Express, Inc. (the "Company") and the Company's principal executive officers, one of whom is also a director. Relying exclusively on a false and defamatory, anonymous "report" posted on August 23, 2017 on the Aurelius Value website claiming that the Company's growth was due in part to marketing addictive animal drugs to opioid addicts, the plaintiff alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company denies the complaint's unfounded accusations and intends to defend itself vigorously against the plaintiff's factually and legally meritless allegations.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
