Talk to your vet about your concerns. I doubt there would be any greatly higher risks. There are always risks with these procedures, but they are very very common and it is easier on the guys since it is less invasive. Your vet can fill you in on the benefits and risks based on your dogs medical history. Generally the benefits way outweigh the risks! Definitely make an appointment to discuss it.
Not only safe,but very wise.You can spare the dog possible prostate or testicular cancer no matter how old they are when they are neutered,and it's a very quick and safe operation.
3 yrs old is still young for a dog. Normally you do not get them fixed under the age of 8 months, but that can depend on the dog as well. Talk to your vet though. He/she would know best and be able to explain the procedure and address your concerns.
