For a German Shepherd puppy, spaying at 3 months is generally considered too early. Most veterinarians recommend waiting until the puppy is at least 6 months old, with some suggesting waiting until they are closer to 1 year old to ensure more complete physical development. Early spaying can sometimes impact growth and development, particularly in larger breeds.
