Anna K. Shoveller, PhD, PAS (she/her/hers)

Professor and University of Guelph Research Leadership Chair
University of Guelph
GUELPH, Ontario

Dr. Anna Kate Shoveller received her PhD from the University of Alberta and is currently a Professor in the Department of Animal Biosciences, University of Guelph. Previously, she was employed by Procter & Gamble and Mars Pet Care where she added to the knowledge of dog and cat nutrition through investigation in the areas of energy metabolism and nutrient budgets of dogs and cats using indirect calorimetry and applying isotope dilution methodologies to quantify amino acids requirements in adult dogs. Shoveller has taken this experience and returned to academia where she teaches Companion and Equine nutrition and runs an active comparative nutrition research group. Her current research focuses on amino acid, fatty acid and energy metabolism in dogs, cats, and horses. She has published over 150 peer-reviewed papers, contributed to multiple book chapters, and applied for multiple patents. She has been awarded over 8 million in grants and contracts since joining Guelph seven-years ago. Shoveller not only has a passion to mentor young technologists, but she is also committed to the generation of highly qualified pet nutrition/product personnel. Shoveller has trained 5 PDFs, 6 PhDs, 11 MSc thesis, and 21 MSc MRP. This impact was recognized in 2021 when Shoveller was named the Champion Petfoods Research Chair in Canine and Feline Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism and in 2024 when she was named one of the University of Guelph’s Research Leadership Chairs.
