The French bulldogs were stolen in late February in a horrifying attack that was caught on camera. The man walking the dogs, Ryan Fischer, was shot and seriously wounded.
Details about what led to the arrests were not immediately available.
The LAPD said it's unlikely the attackers knew they were targeting Lady Gaga's dogs, but may have been familiar with the high-value breed.
"Detectives do not believe the suspects were targeting the victim because of the dogs’ owner," police said in a statement. "However, evidence suggests the suspects knew the great value of the breed of dogs and was the motivation for the robbery."
Fischer was shot once as he walked three of the singer’s dogs in Hollywood. He was readmitted to the hospital in March after his lung collapsed. He wrote on Instagram that he went through surgery to "remove portions of my lung."
