INVESTOR ALERT: Brower Piven Encourages Shareholders Who Have Losses In Excess Of $100,000 From Investment In PetMed Express, Inc. (Nasdaq: PETS) To Contact Brower Piven Before The Lead Plaintiff Deadline In Class Action Lawsuit

STEVENSON, Md., Sept. 25, 2017 -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida on behalf of purchasers of PetMed Express, Inc. (Nasdaq:PETS) (“PetMed” or the “Company”) securities during the period between May 8, 2017 and August 23, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”).  Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until October 24, 2017 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court.  The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the class in the action.  The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in PetMed securities during the Class Period.  Members of the class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff.  No class has yet been certified in the above action.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that the Company was marketing dangerous and addictive animal drugs to humans, was vulnerable to potential civil and criminal liability, and could be halted from advertising by Google.

According to the complaint, following an August 23, 2017 research report alleging that the Company was aggressively marketing dangerous painkillers to human opiate and drug users, which could capture the attention of regulators, the value of PetMed shares declined significantly.

If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in PetMed securities purchased on or after May 8, 2017 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html.  You may also request more information by contacting Brower Piven either by email at [email protected] or by telephone at (410) 415-6616.
