Overview
Veterinary Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (LVT, PT, RVT, CVT) Jobs in Dallas, TX at HEAL Vet
Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (LVT, RVT, CVT, or Physical Therapist)
At HEAL Vet, rehabilitation is much more than underwater treadmill sessions. We believe every patient deserves an individualized plan built around finding why they aren’t moving well—not simply treating the symptoms.
We’re seeking an energetic, compassionate, and intellectually curious Veterinary Rehabilitation Therapist to join our growing team. Whether you’re an experienced rehabilitation technician or a physical therapist transitioning into veterinary medicine, we’re looking for someone who enjoys clinical problem-solving, lifelong learning, and building meaningful relationships with pet owners.
Who We Are
HEAL Vet is an independently owned, integrative veterinary hospital focused on helping pets achieve healthier, more active lives. Our philosophy is built around four guiding principles:

- Veterinary Acupuncture
- Veterinary Chiropractic
- Advanced Pain Management
- Regenerative Medicine
- Fear Free techniques
We evaluate and treat orthopedic, neurologic, geriatric, post-operative, chronic pain, and athletic performance patients through both referral and primary-care pathways.
Rather than relying on standardized therapy protocols, we develop individualized treatment plans based on each patient’s diagnosis, functional limitations, goals, and response to therapy.

- Underwater treadmill
- Professional land treadmill
