Like I said start cooking some chicken and rice for the dog. The kibble may be grain/corn free but there is something that is terribly aggravating him. Licking the paws till they are raw is the first symptom of food allergies. Do the basic cooked chicken and rice (or oatmeal) for a month. If the symptoms don't clear try using turkey or beef with oatmeal.
This may sound like a lot of work but in the end it will be worth it. Are you using any kind of flea meds or anything that is put onto the skin or ingested ?? if so take him off these as well. Go basic bare minimum for a month, no treats. give his body some relief and then add one thing back into the diet at a time
