I have a 1 year old Golden pup and her fur is kinda on the short side. Her top coat seems very thin/short and wavy compared to other 1 year old goldens ive seen. Is there anything i can do to make it long and straight? Does it have anything to do with her food? I'm currently feeding her canidae. She was spayed too, idk if that has anything to do with it. The fur on her tail and hind legs are long though. Any other tips for fur health/ fur care would be appreciated!

Just wait and see if her fur changes.
It’s very normal for golden retrievers to have wavy fur and it might be thin because she hasnt grown her winter coat yet. Also she has just lost her puppy coat and it’ll take a few months for her adult coat to grow. Don;t worry just be patient, many golden retriever dog owners have experienced this.
Her being spayed has nothing to do with it btw.
Just keep brushing the dead hairs out and don’t feed her human food (doesnt have proper nutrients to help her hair grow)
Her fur should be full and thick in about 2 months.
Hi,
The Golden’s thick coat means lots of grooming. Daily brushing is recommended to prevent tangling, and once a week is the bare minimum. Your Golden will also need a bath at least once a month, often more frequently, to keep him looking and smelling clean. Here’s more info:

The Golden Retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in the U.S. The breed’s friendly, tolerant attitude makes him a fabulous family pet, and his intelligence makes him a highly capable working dog. Golden Retrievers excel at retrieving game for hunters, tracking, sniffing out drugs, and as therapy and assistance dogs. They’re also natural athletes, and do well in dog sports such as agility and competitive obedience.
