Back to the vet we go...
I think Sam has allergies. A while back, he began to rub one eye. It got all red and he kept it shut and rubbed it all the time. Took him to the vet and wondered if it might be the thing where the eyelashes roll in. But odd that it was just one eye. (One of our previous dogs had surgery for that a long time ago.) It did not appear to be a scratch on the eye.
We put drops in the eye and it cleared up but he still rubbed from time to time. Now he's rubbing both eyes. And he squints a lot. And the area around the eye is getting rough.
Of course, I googled. And I see that paw licking can be a symptom and he does that. He gets plenty of exercise so it's not boredom licking. We thought he just liked to clean his feet. 
He's already on a grain free diet and he doesn't scoot his butt or anything so I don't think it's a food allergy.
The dogs are about 2 years old now and huge. I think he's up to 115 but I'll find out tomorrow. (He's a rott mix.)
Thought/experience on dogs with allergies?

I left some clothes in the dryer!
I do need to be better about washing the bedding. I'm going to look for some unscented detergent and the kind without dyes and such.
See how that works.
Another trick from the 'white dog tear stain removal' crowd? 
Saline solution around the eyes. Just the cheapest store brand you can find - nothing special needed.
I'm really really into my Maltese!
I had a white poodle who was allergic to almost everything, but most of all to oak pollen. We live under 6 HUGE oak trees.
We had her tested and she had to go on a special homemade diet of oatmeal and chicken and had to get special shots every 3 months. All in all, it cost over $1500. She was our problem child. In her lifetime, we spent over $10K on her vet bills. 
Yes, we loved her.
Having said all that, I bet your baby just has seasonal allergies that can be easily diagnosed and "fixed". Don't tell him I used that word.
Good luck at the Dr.s office.
