Around 14 days old, our pit bull puppies start to open their eyes—one of the sweetest milestones to witness. It doesn’t happen all at once, and even once they’re open, puppies don’t see clearly right away. Their vision will stay a bit blurry as they adjust to light and learn how to focus.

So, what does this mean for us?
When eyes begin to open, we:
-
Continue gentle handling, helping them associate new sights with comfort and calm
-
Watch for early curiosity, like lifting their heads, trying to follow movement, or looking toward sound
-
Make sure both eyes open normally and look healthy—just another reason why daily checks matter

This stage is when puppies start interacting a little more with their environment, their littermates, and us. It’s subtle at first, but soon enough, their wobbly little walks and first reactions to the world start to shine through.

At Bad to the Bone Kennels, we celebrate every milestone with care and intention. Eyes opening is just the beginning of a more alert, engaged, and social chapter.
