Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! He is absolutely adorable and yes he looks like a beagle. Hernias usually do require surgery to avoid potential complications down the road such as organ entrapment, among others. The possibility of complications will depend largely on the hernia location. Good luck!
