M. Katherine Tolbert's research program focuses on the gastrointestinal health of companion animals, particularly dogs and cats. Her work investigates the treatment and management of acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases. A significant portion of her recent publications stem from her involvement in the Dog Aging Project, examining factors such as diet, physical activity, and cognitive function in aging companion dogs.

Tolbert has authored over 100 peer-reviewed manuscripts and received the Zoetis award for Excellence in Veterinary Research in 2018. Her scholarly metrics include an h-index of 22 and 1,462 total citations. She has collaborated with researchers such as Simon R. Knowles from the University of Arkansas at Monticello on shared publications. Tolbert's clinical interests encompass small animal internal medicine and nutrition, and she holds adjunct professor appointments at the University of Tennessee and is an associate professor at Texas A&M University.
