NEW YORK, Aug. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against PetMed Express, Inc. ("PetMed" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PETS) and certain of its officers on behalf of a class consisting of investors who purchased PetMed securities between May 8, 2017 through August 23, 2017, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period").  Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm's site: www.bgandg.com/pets.

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) PetMed was marketing dangerous and addictive animal drugs to humans; (2) as such, PetMed is vulnerable to potential civil or criminal liability, as well as other regulatory action; (3) in turn, Google may halt PetMed's advertising activities; and (4) consequently, defendants' statements about PetMed's business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
