How to polish scratches out of a high-gloss dark cherry dining table?

Our dog got excited when she found an apple pie high on a pedestal on our beautiful Thomasville dark cherry dining table and had a ball jumping high enough to take bites. In so doing she left claw scratches along a corner and an edge. The scratches aren’t deep — I suspect they don’t go through the finish — but I don’t know whether I need to refinish the table entirely or try to polish out the shallow scratches. Is that possible? If so, what sort of medium would be best to use? Polishing compound? Very fine sandpaper? Steel wool? And what to do once the scratches disappear (and the lovely finish is terribly dulled)? Shouldn’t the entire top surface be polished or sanded down to the same level and then a new finish applied? Should I just take the entire finish off and refinish or are there any reasonable measures short of that which will yield good results?

The first thing to try is Old English furniture polish. I’ve seen this stuff work miracles.
If that doesn’t work then polishing compound should do the job, and still leave a shine. If there is a noticeable difference between the polished area and the rest of the finish, try using the compound to feather it out, possibly polishing the whole table top. If the finish is lacquer, it’s possible to jsut spray the affected area, as the new lacquer will melt into the old lacquer. Other than that, you’ll have to get the entire tabletop refinished by a pro.
