This paper investigates the following quasilinear chemotaxis system with consumption of chemoattractant \(\begin{aligned} {\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} u_t=\Delta {u^m}-\nabla \cdot (u^{q-1}\nabla {v}), & (x,t)\in \Omega \times (0,\infty ), \\ v_t=\Delta {v}-uv, & (x,t)\in \Omega \times (0,\infty ) \end{array}\right. } \end{aligned}\) under a smooth bounded convex domain \(\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^n\,\,(n>2)\) with smooth boundary \(\partial {\Omega }\) , where the parameters \(m>1,~q\ge 2\) . It is shown that if \(q>m+\frac{2}{n}\) , for any sufficiently small initial data, the associated initial-boundary value problem possesses a globally bounded weak solution.
