FDA Registered Origin
Al Moin Exports is a direct-from-source manufacturer and bulk exporter of premium **Moon Bones** (natural water buffalo scapula shoulder blade cartilage) for dog treats. Sourced from grass-fed, free-range water buffalo (bubalus bubalis) from registered Indian veterinary reserves, these chews represent a highly nutritious, 100% natural, single-ingredient joint-health treat. Composed of pure structural shoulder blade cartilage, moon bones naturally supply dogs with essential glucosamine, chondroitin, and therapeutic collagen, offering a highly digestible, long-lasting chew that supports canine joint mobility.
At our Hapur processing facility, raw shoulder cartilage is boiled, steam-sanitized, cut into flat slices, and slow-dried in computerized dehydration systems to bring the moisture content below 12%. This guaranteed moisture index prevents microbial mold or bacterial activity during container shipping, delivering a clean, low-odor treat for bulk buyers and private label brands.

True low-odor natural moon bones are the result of pristine raw material hygiene and precise temperature-humidity profiles. At our Hapur export plant, raw cartilage is washed, boiled at high temperatures to completely flush out any organic fluids, blood cells, and residual fat, and sanitized. Specialized machinery is used to cut them into uniform flat slices.
The cleaned cartilage slices are dried in hot-air dehydration systems, bringing the moisture index below 12%. This guaranteed dryness eliminates the medium for bacterial development, mold, or rancid fats. Prior to boxing, all slices pass through electronic conveyor metal detection units and undergo PCR lab analysis to guarantee zero detection of pathogens (Salmonella, E. Coli, or Enterobacteriaceae), with a physical Lab Certificate of Analysis issued for every batch.
We specialize in serving private labels, e-commerce brands, and wholesale distributors in North America, Canada, Europe, and the UK. Our packaging division supports private label branding parameters, enabling brands to implement their custom-printed stand-up bags, pegboard peg bags, shrink wraps, or barcoded cartons. Sourcing directly from Al Moin Exports yields immense cost efficiencies and completely scales your high-volume pet supplies chain.
Logistics support includes FOB shipping from India's primary maritime container ports or door-to-door DDP services directly to your US, Canadian, or European warehouses, fully customs-cleared and duty-settled.
Moon Bones are volumetric and lightweight. We pack them inside heavy-duty double-walled corrugated boxes, accompanied by silica desiccants to prevent humidity shifts during ocean transit. A standard 20-foot dry container (FCL) can hold up to 5.0 to 6.5 metric tons of cartilage slices, while a 40-foot HQ container accommodates up to 11.0 to 13.0 metric tons.
Our compliance division guarantees hassle-free import clearance at US, Canada, EU, and UK customs. We issue government-backed Sanitary Health Certificates, Veterinarian Inspections, Certificates of Origin (APEDA), HACCP certificates, and physical third-party laboratory analysis documents proving zero pathogen trace levels.
Our processing plant operates under globally verified quality controls: FDA Registered Facility (US), APEDA registered, and certified for ISO 9001:2015 and HACCP control. We support export guidelines for US FDA, CFIA (Canada), and TRACES (Europe).
Moon Bones is the traditional veterinary name for the scapula cartilage (shoulder blade) of large grazing animals like water buffalo. Unlike skeletal leg bones, moon bones are composed of 100% natural, digestible cartilage tissue. They do not contain hard bone cores, making them completely safe from splintering or cracking, while supplying dogs with therapeutic glucosamine, chondroitin, and collagen.
Odor and hygiene issues are mitigated by our thermal washing processes. All raw cartilage sheets are boiled, steam-scraped, and de-fattened under strict relative-humidity checks. Our low-temperature hot-air dehydration chambers slowly dry the cartilage down to <12% moisture, ensuring stable, clean, low-odor treats.
