I goggled "DOG QUILT BED" and then looked at images.....you will get great ideas from there... Will also depend on kind and size of dog and where it is going to be used (on sofa or floor) If on the floor I might even consider adding an insert (cedar chips) that can be taken out when washed. I am currently owned by 5 doggies and they are all different, but all claim the current quilt as their own. Have old, old quilts folded on my floors in the sewing studio, they each have their favorite spot and quilt....needless to say I am never alone.
