What's a pariah dog?
Pariah dogs are often known as Indian Pariah Dogs — a breed of dogs who live close to communities while belonging to no one.
But when we say Pariah Dog, we mean something deeper.
We mean the strays. The outcasts. The unwanted. The wildly untamed dogs who survive against the odds.
Pariah Dogs was founded in honor of a dog named Harley, whose story is just as wild as he is. The truth is, much of Harley’s past is still a mystery. He was picked up by animal control as a stray wandering 17 miles from the Mexico–Texas border and taken to a high euthanasia shelter with one of the worst reputations in America. In 2022, when Harley was adopted, the odds for dogs like him were even worse.
As a semi-feral stray with no owner coming to save him, Harley was almost certain to be euthanized. After one week in the shelter, his time was up. He was placed on the euthanasia list.
But his story was far from over.
A local humane society in Grand Junction, Colorado, stepped in and rescued Harley, along with 17 other dogs, flying them by seaplane to Colorado for a second chance. After another six weeks in the humane society’s care, Harley was adopted into his forever home.
With a lot of love and a little patience, Harley grew into the incredible dog he is today. Along the way, he showed off his leadership skills and was officially promoted to CEO of Pariah Dogs.
His story is the heart of everything we do.
Pariah Dogs was built for the strays, the outcasts, the rebels, and every dog who was almost overlooked. Harley’s story reminds us that no dog is too far gone — and sometimes, the wildest ones make the greatest leaders.
These dogs were never meant to conform to someone else’s standards, and neither were we.
Our treats are made to challenge what dog treats have become: the overprocessed, underwhelming, same old biscuit in a different bag.
We are always humane.
Always organic.
Always raising the standards.

Wandern Lager
Wandern was inspired by the German word for hiking — a tribute to fresh air, long trails, and the joy of exploring the world beside your dog. German hiking culture celebrates slowing down, getting outside, and making the journey just as meaningful as the destination.

Ingredients:
Water, Beef heart, Organic apple cider vinegar, Organic dried chamomile flowers, Organic dried moringa leaves.
Water:
The most important and hydrating part of every great drink.
​
Beef heart:
Our beef heart comes from White Oak Pastures, industry leaders in regenerative farming. Their cattle live healthy, natural lives on pasture, as all cows should. In the words of their founder, “It’s a bold return to giving a damn.” — Will Harris
They are Certified Grassfed by the American Grassfed Association, Certified Humane, Global Animal Partnership Step 4 rated, and Certified EOV by the Savory Institute. Their cattle are raised through a regenerative, pasture-based system and harvested on White Oak Pastures’ on-farm abattoir, which supports their commitment to animal welfare from pasture to processing. Cow heart is an organ, but it’s made mostly of dense cardiac muscle — giving dogs the best of both worlds: rich animal protein with the nutrient density organ meats are known for.
​
Organic apple cider vinegar:
In all honesty, the apple cider vinegar is added to lower the pH, helping in the process of creating a shelf-stable, adventure-ready beer. It also has some health benefits, especially for kibble-fed dogs, who can often have a much less acidic stomach than what’s considered healthy.
The high acidity can help support digestion and cut through the richness of the broth, while giving each pour a bright, savory bite without relying on synthetic junk.
Organic dried chamomile flowers:
​Chamomile is more than a calming flower — it’s a functional botanical rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and terpenoids. Key bioactive compounds like apigenin, bisabolol, and chamazulene are studied for their roles in supporting nervous system balance, digestive comfort, cellular protection, and a healthy inflammatory response in dogs. (Fun fact: wolves are often documented eating wildflowers!)
Dried moringa leaves:
​Moringa oleifera, known as the “miracle tree,” gets its name from its unusually nutrient-dense leaves. They naturally contain plant protein, essential minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and powerful bioactive compounds like quercetin, kaempferol, chlorogenic acid, glucosinolates, and isothiocyanates.

Harley's Wild Ale
A beer almost as cool as the dog it was named after.
Harley’s Wild Ale was inspired by the dog behind Pariah Dogs: a sweet, adventure-loving gentleman with a wild streak.
Harley spent five years as a stray, living a lifetime of adventures before he ever found his way home. We’ll never truly know where he went, what he saw, or what wild stories he carries with him. This beer is our fun tribute to the unknown parts of his journey.

Ingredients:
Water, Venison, Organic apple cider vinegar, Organic dried ashwagandha root, Organic dried butterfly pea flowers.
Water:
The most important and hydrating part of every great drink.
Ground venison:
Novel proteins bring diversity where most dog's diets can be quite repetitive. Each protein source offers a diverse amino acid profile, mineral balance, and fat composition, helping broaden the nutritional foundation of the diet. Lean novel proteins like venison provide quality amino acids without excess fat, while also making a way for dogs with allergies to partake in the fun.
Our venison is sourced from First Light Farms’ pasture-raised New Zealand deer, raised in small herds with low-stress handling. Their venison is Certified Humane®, Non-GMO verified, and raised with no antibiotics or added hormones.
Organic apple cider vinegar:
In all honesty, the apple cider vinegar is added to lower the pH, helping in the process of creating a shelf-stable, adventure-ready beer. It also has some health benefits, especially for kibble-fed dogs, who can often have a much less acidic stomach than what’s considered healthy.
​
The high acidity can help support digestion and cut through the richness of the broth, while giving each pour a bright, savory bite without relying on synthetic junk.
Organic dried ashwagandha root:
​Ashwagandha root is a powerful adaptogen rich in withanolides, natural compounds studied for supporting stress resilience and nervous system balance. This means it helps the body move out of an overactive, stressed state and return to a calmer, more steady state. By helping regulate HPA-axis activity in the brain, ashwagandha supports a calmer stress response naturally.
Organic dried butterfly pea flowers:
Butterfly pea flowers are vibrant blue flowers rich in anthocyanins, especially ternatins — antioxidants studied for helping protect cells from oxidative stress. Their bioactive compounds help neutralize free radicals while adding a beautiful natural blue color.
Goat Milk Berry Bones
Our rebellion against the modern biscuit — no useless ingredients and no mystery preservatives. Made with wildly simple, purposeful ingredients, each bone is crafted to be more than a treat, a delicious, adventure ready boost of real nutrition you can feel good about adding to your
dog’s day.
Goat Milk Berry Bones
Ingredients:
Goat milk, Organic blueberries, Organic strawberries, Organic chia seeds.
Pasteurized goat milk:
Goat milk is a naturally anabolic, nutrient-dense food — meaning it provides the building blocks the body uses to build and repair new tissue. Its smaller fat globules and gentle protein structure make goat milk one of the easiest milks to digest. Because it’s naturally easy on the stomach, goat milk has long been used across species as a universal mother milk, while its bioavailable nutrients mean the body can absorb and use them efficiently. Simple, digestible, and nutrient-rich — goat milk delivers whole-food nutrition the body can actually use.
Organic blueberries:
We use organic fresh blueberries because they are rich in anthocyanins, especially compounds like malvidin, delphinidin, and cyanidin, which are studied for supporting brain health at the cellular level. In the brain, these polyphenols help reduce oxidative stress, calm inflammatory signaling, support blood flow, and improve neuron-to-neuron communication.
Organic strawberries:
We use fresh organic strawberries with the strawberry tops (the green leaves, without the stems.) Strawberries provide a diverse range of antioxidants, including vitamin C, ellagic acid, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and polyphenols. The strawberry tops add extra plant-based antioxidants and fiber, supporting a fuller whole-plant nutrition profile.
Organic chia seeds:
​Chia seeds are a complete plant protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. They’re also one of the richest plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids and contain a wide array of antioxidants. When hydrated, chia seeds form a natural fiber gel that helps slow digestion, allowing nutrients to be released more steadily. For dogs, this can support smoother digestion, better nutrient use, and longer-lasting energy from whole-food ingredients.
What's yak?
Yak is a hearty, nutrient-rich red meat, similar to beef or bison but naturally lean. It brings quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins in a clean, whole-food form. While it’s in the same family as cattle and bison, yak is biologically different, making it a great alternative for dogs with sensitivities to beef and a healthy way to add variety to the training treat mix.
Yak liver freeze dried training treats
Ingredients: Yak liver, Water.
Liver delivers highly biologically available nutrition helping dogs absorb and use it efficiently. Packed with iron, vitamin A, copper, B vitamins, and CoQ10, supporting energy, red blood cell health, and immune function.
We use just enough water to blend the cooked liver together, so you get an easy to grab smelly and delicious training treat.
​
*WARNING* Liver is extremely rich in vitamin A, which is beneficial in small amounts but can be harmful if overfed. Too much vitamin A may lead to vitamin A toxicity, so we recommend treats make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily diet.
Yak heart freeze dried slices
Ingredients: Yak heart.
Heart is an organ, but nutritionally it’s closer to muscle meat making it a rich source of protein, iron, zinc, B vitamins, taurine, L-carnitine, and natural CoQ10.
Yak tongue freeze dried slices
Ingredients: Yak tongue.
A treat with a little tongue-in-cheek. Tongue is a unique cut because it has a naturally rich, meaty texture dogs love. While it’s technically an organ, tongue is mostly muscle meat, giving it a firm, satisfying chew and a new texture to switch up treat time. It also delivers highly usable protein, amino acids, and natural healthy fats in a rich whole-food form.
