From Old to New: Our Journey

For over four decades, Raf Deconinck poured his heart, strength, and soul into this veterinary practice — a place that grew into one of the most trusted and respected names in the region. Known to nearly every farmer and pet owner in the Waasland area, Raf wasn't just a veterinarian; he was a steady presence, offering care, comfort, and expertise through long days, late nights, and all seasons.

Every brick here speaks to hard work, passion, and a deep connection to the local community. Now, this one-of-a-kind property is ready for its next chapter — offering rare potential for someone who sees not just a building, but the heart behind it.

When the practice opened its doors in October 1997, it was built with purpose: a functional, well-thought-out complex designed to meet the wide-ranging needs of rural veterinary care. From small pets to cattle, pigs, and horses — even advanced procedures like arthroscopy — the building supported the work of six dedicated veterinarians, each covering their own corner of a vast and diverse field.
