On average, puppies open their eyes 12 - 16 days after birth. But this is the average time, so sometimes puppies may open their eyes a day or two earlier or later than that. It depends on the individual puppy. Sometimes in one litter, one puppy may open his eyes after 9 days, while another may open his after 14 days, and yet another will open his after 18 days. There is no established pattern to know when a puppy will open his eyes. Sometimes a pup may even open one eye before the other!
Newborn kittens have sealed eyelids, which begin to open around eight days. It's not at all unusual for littermates to open their eyes at different rates -- some babies may open their eyes in as little as two days while others may take as long as two weeks. However, once open, their eyes will be blue and will gradually mature. Kittens will try to avoid light for two or three days after their eyes open because their pupils aren't able to constrict. The first three weeks of kitty's life she's especially dependent on her mother. Not only are her eyes not real useful, but her hearing isn't fully developed.
