The earliest clipped, the faster to heal. I knew a person that clipped his dogs ears a week after they were born but he was a veterinarian. There are breed that 6 months is recommended but that does not concern us.
Mostly a two months is recommended for cutting puppies ears and the after care is a factor in healing of those ears.
First the sutures should be removed by not more than seven days after surgery. After that, it will bring complications that will add more time to the healing period. If this is done properly without any complication, 3 weeks is enough for they to heal.
