      On average, puppies will first begin to open their eyes between 10 to 14 days. They will often begin to split slightly & will slowly & eventually open fully within a day or two. They won't be able to actually see anything with any clarity for a while to come. At first they see only light & dark, blurry images, etc but their vision will become increasingly clearer within a couple of weeks.

        Canines are declared man's best friends and rightly so. They have been around all through the evolution of wandering man and settlements. Dogs, as pets, make wonderful companions and this is the prime reason why many people adopt them. When little, they are simply adorable and the natural tendency of anyone at the sight of a litter is to adopt a pup. However, the life span of dogs is much shorter and hence their rate of maturity and adaptation to the surroundings is much quicker.

        When the pups first open their eyes they could be just a few hours old. However, their vision and limb co-ordination is very unstable at the time and they are most susceptible to injury. However, once they open their eyes they take little or no time at all to identify with their environment and especially, with the mother. The growing stages in the case of canines are observed in quick succession.

        The 'few hours old' or 'day old' puppies, unlike human babies, are instinctive and very inquisitive. They waste no time in identifying with humans in the vicinity or others of the same species. Their connection with siblings is established immediately and they seem to be on a constant spree to get as close to the mother as possible.
