New 7-week puppy: What first shots, nail trims, and flea care are safe?

Question

Hi I have a new puppy that is 7 weeks old I need to get her shots and a few other things. I would like her to have her very sharp nails trimmed I'm afraid I will hurt her doing it myself she aslo needs a flea treatment or bath or something and I'm not sure what is safe for her age. Basically I need everything she needs for the first time. Can you give me an estimate for all of this. Also the feed store has 5 in 1 shots is that the same as vaccinations. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 8 days old

You can get all of this done at a Vetco clinic, and I will put a link below to prices for vaccines. Nail trims are typically around $10-15, and you will have to get a quote from them for a bath. The vet can recommend a flea treatment for her. Please, please DO NOT give her vaccines from the feed store. There have been so many cases of dogs coming down with parvo and distemper who were vaccinated at home by their owners. This is because the feed store often stores the vaccines incorrectly and/or the owner gives the vaccine wrong. Bessie's health is too important to risk, so please get her vaccines done with the vet. Best of luck, I hope this helps! https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/
