You and your vet will need access to those areas to check his health periodically. If he freaks out and tries to maul you because he's not used to those areas being touched, it just makes things more difficult. Particularly you're going to have to clip his claws (which is different from declawing and is essentially the same thing as clipping your nails), which if you get him used to it young is relatively easy, even if you can't do them all at once.
You're saving yourself some blood, basically.
