Puppies generally open their eyes when they are about ten to fourteen days old. At birth, a puppy's eyes are closed round the clock.

What age do puppies ears open?

Puppies are born blind and deaf, with both their eyes and ears sealed shut. For their first two weeks of life, newborn pups experience the world entirely through touch and smell. During the third week their eyes and ears open, giving tiny pups a whole new way to experience life.

What happens if you open a puppy's eyes?

Remember, you should never force a puppy's eyes open. Every breed, litter and puppy within that litter will open their eyes at their own pace when they are ready. Forcing their eyes open before they are ready can lead to infection, eye damage and even permanent blindness.
