Pet's info: Dog | Japanese Spitz | Female | spayed | 2 years and 7 months old | 11 lbs
Is it normal for dog to go in heat after 3 months? As I remember she had last 3 months ago but I am not sure. Should she be okey?

No, dogs typically have a heat cycle every 6 months. That said, some dogs may have more than two. Diet, stress and general health may also play roles in heat cycles. Consider an exam with your veterinarian to diagnose and treat any medical causes if necessary. If Joshie is not a show dog or a breeding dog, consider having her spayed to prevent future cycles and uterine infection when she is older.
