Be aware that chips don't necessarily stay where they are put. A vet told us that one of our dogs had no chip, and we knew absolutely that we had given him one. Turns out it had migrated down to the bottom of one front leg! Most people looking for one wouldn't look there! He now has two, with one where it's supposed to be, on his back.
That is true with the older chips. The newer ones do not move nearly as much, but it is possible.
Any true animal professional is trained to check the whole animal, from the foot up. Even if the chip moves, it still works.
