Puppies normaly open their eyes between 8-11 days. Don't be worried if it takes a little longer though.

They open their eyes at about 7-14 days but the latest at 15. They start eating food at about 4 in a half weeks.

Puppies open their eyes between 10 and 14 days, then they should see your vet. Eating moist food at 4 weeks is alright but solid food should wait until 5 weeks.
