Call the vet that put in the chip.

it happens regularly and most vets are aware of this they usually scan the neck and around the shoulder areas to check for microchips. I found a dog that was lost and the chip had moved but the vet did find it and pup was reunited back with her owner.

The problem is simple, get a tattoo on the dog! Tattoo the dog's neck to say, "Look at my chest, Vet Dude!"

Call the vet so they can put the chip in the right spot again.

If I were you, I would go to furykids.net and read the articles there on the dangers of microchips
