PETMED EXPRESS INC 8-K/A

What Happened

• Petmed Express, Inc. announced the dismissal of RSM US LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm, effective December 19, 2025, after RSM completed interim reviews of the Company’s Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025.
• The company engaged Baker Tilly as its new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, beginning with the review of the quarter ending December 31, 2025. RSM’s audit reports for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 were unmodified and RSM reported no disagreements or reportable events for those periods (except as previously disclosed).

Key Details

• Dismissal effective date: December 19, 2025.
• RSM completed interim reviews of 10-Qs for quarters ended June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025 prior to dismissal.
• RSM’s audit reports for fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 contained no qualifications, disclaimers, or adverse opinions.
• Baker Tilly will begin with the review of the quarter ending December 31, 2025; the company reported no prior consultations with Baker Tilly on accounting or auditing matters during the two most recent fiscal years through Dec 19, 2025.
• RSM provided a letter dated December 29, 2025, filed as an exhibit to the 8-K amendment.

Why It Matters

• A change in independent auditor is material corporate governance information for investors. Here, the transition appears orderly: RSM’s prior audits were unmodified and no disagreements were reported, and a new firm (Baker Tilly) has been engaged for FY2026 reviews.
• Investors should note the change but recognize there is no indication in the filing of prior audit problems or disagreements. Watch upcoming quarterly reviews and the next audited financial statements for any differences in reporting or audit scope under Baker Tilly.
