Dr Sanford became a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1971 after a study at the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph, Canada. Four years later he obtained his diploma in Veterinary Pathology at the same college. Since 1981, he received a pathology specialty board certification at the American College of Veterinary Pathologists.
