In this paper, we study the shrinking gradient Ricci-harmonic soliton. Firstly using Chow–Lu–Yang’s argument, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for complete noncompact shrinking gradient Ricci-harmonic solitons with $$S\ge \delta $$S≥δ to have polynomial volume growth with order $$n-2\delta $$n-2δ. Secondly, we derive a Logarithmic Sobolev inequality, as an application, we prove that any noncompact shrinking gradient Ricci-harmonic soliton must have linear volume growth, generalizing previous result of Munteanu and Wang (Commun Anal Geom 20(1):55–94, 2012).
