My three dogs--a diabetic blind Schnauzer named Angel Bear, a rescue Pomeranian named Gucci (who is the most beautiful Pom in the world) and an exuberant Yorkie named Booger Bear-- take their naps on fleece pillows stuffed with fiberfill.
The fleece is not the sturdiest for dogs who like to rearrange their beds, so there are pinholes in it and the fiberfill bleeds through.
Their quilts also are riddled with holes, but it took longer for the batting to come through, partly because batting is sturdier than fiberfill and partly because the holes in cotton don't stretch so quickly.
I have made both fleece pillows and quilts for my dogs and for friends and both the dogs and the friends have seemed to appreciate them.
Anything you give a pet lover will be treasured, but you need to know it will be subject to dog activities. There is no way to "take care" of a dog quilt!
