Help regarding plaster wall

[r4ptor]

Hello!

I have a puppy that has scratched through the wallpaper in one area and left approximately 5-10mm deep grooves in the drywall.
Any suggestions on how to fix these grooves?
Is it possible to just fill and repaint, or does something else need to be done?

Grateful for any tips

Just regular spackel.

I would remove the wallpaper at this place or cut slightly deeper grooves. So that the filler would adhere in depth. Vacuum with a brush before filling. You can even brush on a little water. Otherwise, the filler might detach from the surface.

if this occurs next to the dog's sleeping area/basket and the problem continues, you can suggest placing thin plexiglass on the wall. prevents the problem and the dog does not dirty the wall

If this occurs near the dog's sleeping area/bed and the problem continues, you could possibly place thin plexiglass on the wall. This prevents the problem and stops the dog from dirtying the wall.

Probably the best suggestion.
