About

Bird Dog Video is an independent dvd/blu-ray rental shop in Calgary Alberta. We carry hard to find films, we have a large Directors’ wall, some really gross and disturbing Asian Horror, Animation, a big Music section, Sci-Fi, Gangster films, Documentaries and we have a New Release wall too! We carry similar titles as our competitors but we also try to throw in some more intelligent films to the mix. Either way, we have what you want to see regardless of your taste.
We are open everyday noon to 11pm, except Christmas Day.
