French Bulldogs are a relatively rare and sought-after species, and can sell for several thousand dollars.
Investigators are looking to determine whether the thieves acted knowing that the dogs belonged to the star, or if they just wanted to capture and resell valuable animals.
Lady Gaga is particularly attached to her dogs, who frequently accompany her to public events and of which she posts photos on social networks.
