If by "pre vet school," you mean get an undergraduate degree (usually a B.A. or B.S.), then the answer is a qualified yes IN THE U.S. Qualified because it's up to the vet schools whether to admit you and I suppose they could take you anyway, but if you look on their admissions pages they say pretty clearly that you need to go to college first. So my advice is to do it.
If by "major in 'Pre-Vet'," then definitely not. For the vet schools I know you can major in basically anything as long as you take the classes you need and show the school what they want to see in a prospective applicant (much like most med schools).
Note that in other countries, becoming a veterinarian is much different. If you live elsewhere or want to go to school outside of your country, sorry that I didn't address your question.

Actually, you may have a slight edge over someone with just a pre-vet degree, as the biology degree shows foresight and probably a Plan B if you aren't accepted to vet school on your first try. A Pre-Vet degree is useless unless you are accepted to vet school.
