Default Weeds and Lawn Care

supposedly one should fertilize the lawn, weeds are pigs and can't
handle it and overdose.

Ever since I stopped hiring the chemical lawn treatment companies I have
gotten more and more weeds interspersed in my lawn. I really don't want
to use anymore herbicides because for health risks to humans and pets. I
have heard from landscapers that people who have had treated their lawns
by these lawn treatment companies have also had their dogs die of
cancer. My dog did die of cancer.

Instead of using herbicides, what is safer way of ridding yourself of
these herbicides that is ecological safe and that is safe for humans
other than simply bending over and pulling them up from the roots?

Thanks
