Bringing home a new puppy? What food, flea meds, and vet care?

We are preparing to get a puppy at the end of this month. Can I get some recommendations? What food to get, what flea medicine, etc. Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Male | neutered | 1 month and 8 days old | 54 lbs

When you pick up the puppy ask the breeder to give you a week's worth of the food he is used to so you can either buy more of the puppy food (sometimes breeders use strange brands that cannot be found in your local petshop) or have time to slowly transition your puppy to the new complete puppy food for large breeds. You should also schedule an appointment with your vet, preferably within 7 days or picking up the puppy for a puppy wellness exam to make sure the puppy is healthy. Your vet can then advise you on what vaccinations to get when and which flea medication to use as well as on heartworm prevention.
