There is no need for an implantable microchip when someone can inject invisible RFID ink into his/her skin. The below quote is from a 2007 Information Week article about Somark Innovations.

Somark Innovations announced this week that it successfully tested biocompatible RFID ink, which can be read through animal hairs...
Co-founder Mark Pydynowski said during an interview Wednesday that the ink doesn't contain any metals and can be either invisible or colored. He declined to say what is in the ink, but said he's certain that it is 100% biocompatible and chemically inert. He also said it is safe for people and animals.
The process developed by Somark involves a geometric array of micro-needles and a reusable applicator with a one-time-use ink capsule. Pydynowski said it takes five to 10 seconds to "stamp or tattoo" an animal, and there is no need to remove the fur. The ink remains in the dermal layer, and a reader can detect it from 4 feet away.
