The withers is the highest point on the back of a non-upright animal, on the ridge between its shoulder blades (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_blade) http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=64200&rendTypeId=4

That picture pretty much shows you what withers are. Their shoulders.

You would measure them from the floor to the top of their withers, ie shoulderblades.

And, what type of dog food do you feed your dogs, or what do you recommend?
