This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because whilst we understand that you would like there to be a legal requirement for privately sold dogs to be subject to a check-up by a vet, we aren't sure who would be required to arrange this check and whether it would be before the dog was provided to the seller or before it was sold.

You could start a new petition setting out clearly who this requirement would apply to.
