Nutrical is good to have on hand. You don't absolutely need it if you have karo syrup or the like instead.
Really depends how many fleas are in the area. A 12 week old pup shouldn't be hanging out outside anyway, so it's more optional for now. The more your pup goes out, the more likely you will need it. If your vet is recommending heartworm preventative, then yes, you do need it asap. I know many people don't treat in CA because it's not a huge problem. I would be though.
