There have been instances where microchips have stopped working. However, microchip companies usually back those up and will typically replace them at no charge if that ever happens.

My dog already has a collar and tags - why do they need a microchip? - Animal Hospital of Statesville

If your pet is out roaming and something happens, their collar could get pulled off or caught on something. In such cases, the information on the tags becomes useless. A microchip serves as a more permanent form of identification for your pet.
