Dog Food Reccomendation

I have a 75 lb, 3 1/2 yo female yellow lab. She doesn't hunt but she is active and stays fit. I'm looking for a grain free dog food recommendation and figured you jokers would have some advice.
About a year ago she started chewing her paws and licking her hind quarters. It's not enough to give her raw spots or missing patches of hair, but it's enough to annoy me and certainly can't be comfortable for her. I've been changing foods, hoping to avoid medicine. I've tried:
Purina One - Large Breed (Chicken based)
Nutro - Lamb and Rice
Fromm - Duck and Sweet Potatoe
Reading online it looks like grain is what usually causes allergies in labs. Today I bought a bag of:
Fromm - Beef Frittata Veg (Grain Free Entree)
Has anyone had any experience with this food or have any other natural (non medicine) solutions? Thanks in advance.

I feed diamond lamb and rice. Pretty good shite. My dogs eat less of it and look better. No typical bloodhound skin issues like I was getting with grain feeds.
I would avoid the ultra-cheap stuff, as well as the ultra-expensive stuff. Diamond is what I like just because it's always worked for me, but anything in that price range should work. Lamb and rice feeds are the best IMO because dogs seem to not develop skin issues in the hot months with it.

I've always fed science diet. No idea if its grain free or not. They don't need much and keeps them in good shape.

Authority. Good food at a reasonable price. I think it's only available at Petsmart.

I didn't read the whole thread so SIAP, but I started feeding my dog chicken, eggs and some game.(Whole skinned and gutted squirrels or venison bones/organs)
Chicken leg quarters/backs/necks from some place like Sam's are much cheaper than quality dog food. I give him raw eggs and organ meat occasionaly too. Maybe a little bacon drippings now and again. I can't wait for the Thanksgiving super deals on frozen turkey. I am going to fill my freezer.
Last month I bought a whole pork loin, bone in. That thing was huge. And after getting the loin, tenderloin, and ribs out for the family, there was plenty meaty bones left for the dog. He eats those and the chicken and crunches them up fine and digests them completely.
I am scooping up about 1/4 the poop I was with Purina One, his teeth are cleaner, his breath is fresher, and his coat and energy are perfect.

I feed my puppy Taste of the Wild High Prairie Puppy Formula. As has been said before, I paid a lot for the little bitch, and dammit if she isn't going to be the prettiest, healthiest boykin spaniel in the world. She just made 4 months and I have had her since she is 6 weeks. I am just about to have to buy another bag. $45 every 12 weeks is something I can deal with.
