Itchy G.S.

What type heat do you have?
Gas fired furnaces will dry every drop of moisture from the air and many people suffer in the same way.
If the condition started when the change over from cooling in the summer to heating in the winter, that would seem to be a fine place to start looking.
As for changing the diet, I would not think that was really the problem. The well bred G.S. is basically a stable animal and at that age (1 year old) if he has an allergy something has dramatically changed in his environment. Find that and solve the problem. You did not mention you had changed his food and the situation started so I would not guess it was his diet that is to blame.
I'd try adding moisture back into the air during the heating season for starters. You might also check out electrostatic air cleaners.
