The vets in Miami aren't worth their payroll, so I bring Baxter to the Veterinary Emergency Hospital when its something obviously wrong.
The training of the doctors at any Emergency clinic are far and above anything your local vet will have.
I believe even though this may not be "urgent", that you should bring him to the biggest veterinary clinic with emergency services in your city.
Only because you will have access to doctors who are actually educated. Not because there's any emergency to worry about. I believe it will increase your chances of getting an answer. Rather than mindlessly hypothesizing like your vet did, they will actually try to determine the cause. And that is worth it, because it means potential treatment.
I don't believe your dog is pacing because he has separation anxiety, or is eating bad food. There's something causing the pacing. Maybe pain or discomfort, and walking is relieving that pain to some extent. Maybe neurological. Bring him to the ER hospital and ask for their smartest doctor. He may figure it out.
