This paper deals with the following indirect chemotaxis-consumption model with signal-dependent degenerate diffusion and logistic source \(\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{llll} u_t = \Delta \left( u v^\alpha \right) +au-bu^l,\quad &{}x\in \Omega ,t>0,\\ v_t= \Delta v - vw,\quad &{}x\in \Omega ,t>0,\\ w_t = - \delta w + u,\quad &{}x\in \Omega ,t>0, \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}\) under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain \(\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^n\) ( \(n\ge 1\) ). Here, the parameters \(a>0\) , \(b>0\) , \(\alpha \ge 1\) , \(\delta >0\) and \(l \ge 2\) . For all suitably regular initial data, if one of the following cases holds: (i) \(l > 2\) ;
(ii) \(l =2, n\le 3\) ;
(iii) \(l = 2, n \ge 4,\) and b is sufficiently large, then the corresponding initial boundary value problem possesses a global classical solution.
