How long does it take for a puppy to open its eyes Most dogs generally open their eyes 9 to 12 days after birth, but depending on the physical condition of the dog, the time to open the eyes varies, even if the same litter of puppies, stronger dogs, the time to open the eyes may be earlier, relatively weak dogs, the time to open the eyes will be later. The dog’s eyes are not open because they are still developing, and only after they are fully developed will they be able to resist the stimulation of external bright light, so be sure not to use your hands to forcefully break open its eyes. If you find a tear stain in the corner of the dog’s eye that is not open, then you can use gauze or cotton swabs to gently rub it off, be careful not to use force, because at this time the dog’s eyes are still relatively soft and can not withstand the force of people’s fingers touching.
