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!
They will continue to open further until somewhere between two and three weeks of age, at which point they will be open completely. A kitten's ears will also open about this time, but her eyes do open first, meaning that she will begin to develop first her sense of sight during these first few weeks of life.
