Surprising that any groomer would do this. You’re really not supposed to shave huskies, they have a natural undercoat that you’re not supposed to fuck with, it’s what regulates their temperature naturally.

Huskies’ natural environment is like Siberia isn’t it? Would it be okay to shave a husky in a tropical climate (assuming the decision to own a husky in a tropical climate’s too late to undo)

Once you shave a husky it's very difficult to get the undercoat hair to grow back normally. It will be all clumpy and patchy. And the coat can also help to keep them cool, although I don't know about tropical heat. You'd probably have a sad dog then..
