Can you safely cover a cactus plant so your dog doesn't get hurt?

You probably know that Cacti are desert plants. That means they are not used to or adapted to shade; so as long as the cover doesn't infringe on the light it receives, the cactus will be fine. Generally, a dog will only sniff a cactus once, but some types can be toxic to dogs and it is best to be on the safe side. I would advise moving it out of reach or protecting it/dog in some way.
