Oh, make the dog sick, have to take it to vet, and possibly kill it. Not my babies!
Glad someone said this! The insides of animals are not dissimilar from our own. Anything that can poison a human can poison a dog, other pets or wild animals. There's a reason for the expression "I wouldn't feed it to a dog".
I don't understand this. Does canned crabmeat have to be kept refrigerated??
Some does, not all. If it's on the shelf, it can stay on the shelf. If it's sold cold, has to stay cold. The cold pack crab meat is a better quality and way, way closer to fresh picked than the stuff on the shelf in the grocery.
I would say no way. I feel for you, and I was in the same position about 6 months ago. I bought 4 16 oz. cans of jumbo lump crabmeat on sale, but because they were cans and in a bag with other canned goods, I forgot about them when I put the non-perishable groceries on the dining room table to be put away later. I didn't discover them till the next day. I, too was on the internet asking people if they could the crab might still be okay, but everyone said don't take the chance, so I reluctantly tossed them.
Did you mention they were cans?

Don't know of anyone who refrigerates canned meats, do you? AFAIK canned foods are shelf stable, including meats. That's the beauty of canning!

From the size of the cans mentioned, 16 oz, they more than likely were because that's the size of the cans we buy cold pack at the restaurant supply place.
Color fading to grey. Smells. Surface of the meat feels like there's a thin film over it which gives it a slimey or slippery feel. That is only the exterior. You may have to cut away the exterior and do the same exam on the interior of the cut of meat. My neighbor claims cutting away the bad portions works for them. I don't trust it.
My dog scarfs down disgusting deer parts he finds, and rabbit heads that have been sitting in the sun, before I can stop him.
Some maybe off meat that is cooked is a step up.

Good to know. Never heard of refrigerated cans, but absolutely, if they're sold cold or the label says to keep them refrigerated.
OP should be glad the meat was found quickly. Dogboa and I went to a farmer's market once and picked up a bunch of asparagus among other things. When we got home, both of us put away the things we bought. Toward the end of the week, I started looking for the asparagus for dinner and it was nowhere to be found. I didn't remember putting it away and neither did he. I was working from home back then and he had a company vehicle for work, so nobody had been in the car since the farmer's market trip. He decided to go look in the car just in case. Think late spring, South Florida, temps in low to mid 80s for highs already, car out in sun. He opened the door and immediately knew the asparagus was in there. It had rolled out of the shopping bag and underneath 1 of the front seats. Unfortunately, it was in a paper bag and had basically liquified. We had to.take the seat out, clean the carpeted floor, let it dry, put baking soda on it, leave the windows open some, then repeat for weeks. It took months before the smell went away totally.
