So sorry to hear about your dog :( You might read her a book like Sammy in the Sky, I'll Always Love You or Saying Goodbye to Lulu, which do a good job of gently illustrating an elderly or sick dog's decline. Since your daughter is so young, it might be better to just wait until after your dog has passed rather than trying to prepare her. Another good book to read at that point would be Goodbye Mousie, and Lifetimes is also a beautiful explanation of death in general.
Give your kid the chance to process these sad emotions now as a way to practice handling grief as an adult.
Two wonderful books that helped my kids last year when we had to put our dog down (my kids were almost 7):
Lifetimes https://www.amazon.com/Lifetimes-Beautiful-Explain-Death-Children/dp/0553344021
Saying Goodbye to Lulu https://www.amazon.com/Saying-Goodbye-Lulu-Corinne-Demas/dp/031604749X (warning, I could not get through this one without crying but it was good to model my grief)
