NOW Pet Health Omega 3 is a straightforward 180-count softgel supplement from an established supplement brand, and while it doesn't have the review volume of category leaders, its 4.3 star rating suggests it does the basic job of getting fatty acids into pets that take softgels well.
Owners of cats or dogs who prefer a no-frills softgel supplement from a familiar national supplement brand and don't need a flavored or chewable format.

Overview
["This NOW Pet Health Omega 3 supplement comes as 180 unflavored softgels formulated for both cats and dogs, with fish listed as the allergen source. It's a fixed 180 count bottle, so there's no size variation to choose from.", 'The label points to joint health as its main benefit and calls out behavior and heart as specific use areas, positioning it as a general wellness softgel rather than a targeted skin and coat formula. It comes from NOW Foods, a long-established supplement manufacturer.', "At $17.90, it's one of the more affordable softgel options in this category, though its 523 reviews and 4.3 star average are modest next to some of the higher-volume salmon oil products here, and its #113 category rank reflects that smaller following."]

Performance notes
As an unflavored softgel, this format relies on the dog accepting the capsule itself, often tucked into food, rather than being mixed in like a liquid oil, which can be a plus for owners who want to avoid a strong fish smell in the house, but can be a minus for picky eaters who won't take a whole softgel.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average across 523 reviews and about 200 units bought in the past month point to a smaller, steadier following rather than the high-volume repeat buying seen in some of the bigger names in this category.
It's formulated for both cats and dogs, so it can work as a shared household supplement if you have pets of both species that need omega support.
What's the main benefit this product targets?
The label lists joint health as the primary benefit, with behavior and heart called out as additional use areas, so it's positioned as a general wellness softgel rather than a coat-specific product.
How many softgels are in one bottle?
Each bottle contains 180 unflavored softgels, which is the only count size offered for this product.
