When do newborn puppies open their eyes?

[Animals45]

Hi,
I have newborn puppies and I am curious when they open their eyes it said online that they don't open their eyes till 2 weeks and I am curious if they do open their eyes at 2 weeks.

2 weeks is pretty average. Sometimes they will begin to open their eyes a little bit sooner.

Oh wow!

I have a litter about 3 weeks old right now, they opened their eyes right around the 2 week mark. Like a day or two earlier than 2 weeks.

I had one mama dog once, who licked the puppies eyes until they opened them too early though.

So it sort of depends on the mama dog I think

Thank you so much for all of your help! The puppies I have are 2 or 3 days old.

Their eyes and ears open at 2 weeks old. What breed are your puppies?
